Alyssa Diomedi '21 Recruiting Profile

I began playing soccer at the age of 6.   I am passionate about the game and have played club ball since the age of 8.  This led me to seeking higher level coaching, competition and to being recruited to play district ODP.

I have outstanding leg strength, a strong core to leap, dive, and stand ground improving my shot stopping abilities and I am very comfortable with a ball at my feet aiding in outlets for my team and distribution.  My goal is to play at a top level collegiate soccer program while obtaining an equally high level education with the hope of building opportunities for the future.

I work hard to balance academics and soccer often staying after scheduled practices and finding  additional time to perfect my skills as a goal keeper.  I am a hard working recruit.  I train privately with the a Virginia/Region I ODP girls goal keeping coach, my club team, and my school team. This past years school stats include 11 starts, 9 clean sheets,  and only 5 goal against with over 70 saves.  A record of 9-1-1.

Off the field, I am regarded by peers and teachers for having the character to speak on behalf for the students who are less fortunate than I.  One of my favorite non-profit activities is to help in securing/shopping for toys for tots over several months each year.

I respect my coaches, readily take advice and constructive criticism, and work to absorb all feedback to improve not only for myself,  but to be a contributor to the teams I have an opportunity to play on.   I look forward to the exciting process of learning more about opportunities afforded me.
