Cara Bauer '15 Recruiting Profile

The first time my foot made contact with a ball I knew soccer was my sport. I've always known that if I worked hard enough soccer would take me where I need to go. I take every practice seriously, and every mistake as a learning experience. I have done everything in my power to increase my skill levels that I possibly can.  I began competitive soccer at the age of 11 playing with girls much older than me.

In college I want to be more than just another student. I want to be a leader on and off the field. Anyone can be a good athlete, but not everyone can be a good student and a good athlete at the same time. I work hard in the classroom to maintain my grades, because education is always first. My goal is to maintain a high GPA while also performing at a high level on the field.

I am very headstrong. Yes, sometimes that's not the best attribute, but I am self-willed and I push myself to do my best in everything I do. I never give up on my team.
