Anali Osorio '16 Recruiting Profile

Hello, i'm Anali. I didn't start to play soccer until I was about 8 years old which is pretty late compared to other competitive players. That being said, soccer gave me so much self confidence and self respect. Soccer made me who I am today and it truly is a passion for me. I think I could fit in at most of the soccer programs out there because everyday I achieve to have better sportsmanship, to be a leader and role model to others and just a better player in general! I'm very small in comparison to other players but unlike other small players, it does not discourage me, it pushes me to get stronger and fight harder! If anything it has built me up to be a better player! People usually underestimate me because of my size but are blown away by my speed on the field. I have yet to meet another female player who is faster than me! My speed is my biggest strength and my size actually helps me because I can easily move between players and get out of small spaces with the ball at my feet! Im very interested in Environmental Science, my parents are both scientists, in different fields but their work has inspired me to looking into a similar field! Im not someone who is looking for the easy way out, I want to learn more about our world and I want to make a difference for people and animals! Im interested in conservation of the earth. 

Im not a shy person and especially when I get comfortable around people I can really stand out and shine. I love to meet new people and learn about new cultures and i'm always ready to get beyond my comfort zone.
