Caitlyn Persinger '12 Recruiting Profile

My name is Caitlyn Persinger, and I have been playing soccer ever since I was 5. It has always been my favorite sport to play. When I was thirteen years old my older brother passed away in a fatal car accident. After that life changing event I pushed myself to keep going to practices and found that those were the only thing that helped me. Pushing myself and working hard at those practices made me forget about what happened. It took my mind off things and gave me a break from reality, because when I'm on that field nothing else really matters. My brother is a huge inspiration to me, and he motivates me to continue the sport he once taught/played. I have been working hard to accomplish my goal of playing college soccer! I'm excited to see what opportunities lay ahead of me and I'm willing to keep my options open. I am very excited to see how my future plays out!
