Hannah Heustess '16 Recruiting Profile

My goal first and foremost is to get a degree. I am inspired to become a physical therapist because I love to be around athletes and helping people in need. I have a passion to be the best student and athlete no matter where I go. I love playing soccer and train very hard to stay in shape and study the game to make myself and my teammates better. I am a leader and enjoy stepping up in any situation I am put in. I am 5'5" and play defensive midfield, center defense and outside back as well. On the field, I am very vocal and a leader in my position. I am a very versatile player and can learn any position that I'm needed in. I have been on varsity since freshman year, and have started since my sophomore. After moving this past year from Fairbanks, Alaska to Biloxi, Mississippi, I started for varsity on my new school team and worked from defense up to midfield and was even used in the striker position. Soccer has been my passion and motivation since fifth grade. I played on a select team for a year in Alaska called Eclipse, and while playing with them, we won the Alaska Airline's Championships, and went down to California to play as well. Upon moving, I have joined the Mississippi Sounders here. Along with soccer, I have also been running varsity cross country since my freshman year, and led my team to state freshman and sophomore year. I have lettered in both cross country and soccer in all three years of my high school careers so far. This past high school season, my team was South-State(6A large schools) runner up. School is important to me and I currently have a 3.3/4.0 GPA and am continuing to better my studies. I am very friendly and easily taught. I enjoy my all of my teammate's company. For college, although I would like to stay in the south, distance is not much of an issue for me, and any size college, as well as surroundings is not a big issue. As long as there is a good atmosphere and chemistry I am not picky.
