Courtney Wiencek '16 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer when I was 5 years old, and I have dreamed about playing college soccer for as long as I can remember.  I have played at the highest level of club soccer in my community since I was 9 years old and am proud to have been a member of a team that has won 3 out of 4 Wisconsin state championships we played in.  One of my proudest accomplishments as a player is playing a significant role in bringing home a National Championship this year at the Super Y North American Finals after finishing as the runner up at last year's North American Finals.  I led my high school varsity team in goals scored as a freshman finishing second on the team in overall points, and as a sophomore led the team in goals scored and total points.  The best attributes I bring to the game include my speed, scoring ability, ability to score with both feet, field vision to recognize the best pass option, leg strength, ability to take on a defender and making good decisions on and off the ball.  Ultimately, I would like to play for a D1 program; however, earning a college scholarship at any level would fulfill my desire to continue playing soccer beyond high school.  Educationally, I would like to study physical therapy because I enjoy anatomy and believe helping others return to their regular physical activities and reducing pain levels to be important work.
