Bethany Rusticelli '15 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer for 15 years now, currently playing as a center midfielder, centerback, or goalkeeper when needed. I was named best player in the region for Hanover county, and named all-conference 2nd team and all-academic for Hanover county. I play for the Mechanicsville kickers U-18, we are ranked 18th in the state, we started at 267th in the state. I'm currently going to J. Sargent Reynolds community college as a freshmen and looking to transfer after this year. I will be playing with the U-18 kickers this coming fall and will be doing private training as soon as the season ends. My goals are to become an all around better player on the field, work on specific things my coaches tell me I need to work on, finish my work before practices and games, get help if needed, and let my coaches know how I'm doing with my school work. What makes me a good candidate for a team is that I'm a great leader, I will step up and take charge and lead a team back to the path of victory, make sure they keep their heads held high, and also make sure there is no bad talk about other players on the team or other teams. As an athlete I'm in very good shape, I run or swim every day, I lift 5 times a week, I juggle for 30-45 minutes a day to keep my touch on the ball, I do technical training every Saturday to learn new drills and moves. Currently just went undefeated at the Atantic cup and brought home the championship with the U18G Mechanicsville kickers.
