IMG ACADEMY

Hello! I'm Summer

I am a class of 2023 high school senior from New Jersey who looks forward to competing at the collegiate level. The COVID pandemic made it difficult for college coaches to travel to games and evaluate me as a potential player for their programs. I created this website to connect with college coaches so that they may learn more about me. My love of this sport started at 5 years old when I played for my township recreational team. As my skills advanced, I progressed to a travel team, then to premier-level EDP teams. The EDP teams that I had the privilege to play on were all top-ranking teams throughout my region. I was fortunate to have a coach on the DA(GA) team who developed my skills further.

 

I currently attend IMG Academy and compete with the U19 Premier team. IMG Academy's elite soccer program is unparallel to many others globally, and it was an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up. IMG Academy looks for student-athletes, like myself, who have a strong commitment to academics, athletics, and personal growth, allowing me to combine honors academic courses with a very competitive soccer schedule. Their Athletic and Personal Development Program (APD) includes individual and team development, strength conditioning, mental training, nutritional coaching, character building, and leadership development that will provide me with invaluable resources and confidence to achieve my objective of competing at the collegiate level. I am a versatile attacking player and depending on the formation I play attacking or outside midfielder, winger, or wing-back positions. I am a possession-style player, that is highly technically skilled. I use quick, accurate passes to move the ball around the pitch and create opportunities to unbalance my opponent. My head coach Ray Leone is a 30+ year college coach and will have me prepared to compete at the collegiate level.

  

I have competed with or have been invited to guest play with many top teams throughout my region including ECNL, GA, NL PRO, and E64. Before IMG Academy my club team was Match Fit Academy ECNL. I have been selected to play for the National Center of Excellence (NCE). NCE is a multi-state soccer program for selected advanced players, similarly structured to our New Jersey ODP. I participated with the NJ OPD Regional team. As a soccer player for my previous college preparatory high school, I was a 2-year team captain, three-year varsity starter, and three-time varsity letter earner. To gain additional tournament exposure I was also carded with a 2004 New York National League PRO U18 team.

 

Academically, I have a 3.4 GPA and take some honors classes. In college, I plan to major in Psychology. Off of the pitch, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Thank you for taking the time to review my website.
