Natalie Blake

I am a dedicated goalkeeper with a passion for soccer that began when I was 4 years old, inspired by my uncle, a former goalkeeper. I have been fortunate to play with multiple competitive club teams and have experienced team success, winning tournaments and titles along the way. Most recently, as a freshman, I joined my high school varsity team and contributed to our first conference title in 7 years, along with a regional title, the first time in our school history that we've ever accomplished both. Helping my team accomplish this goal, but still falling short of our ultimate goal to compete for a state title, has continued to drive me to become a better player and leader on and off the field.

I'm looking for a college program that will fit me as a player and a student. Academically, I'm passionate about conservation and environmental sciences, participating in Science Olympiad competitions and the Green Team's efforts to reduce my school's carbon footprint. I have a wide range of other interests, including sports medicine, carpentry, and music, and am a member of the school symphonic and marching band.

I know my well-rounded background, dedication, and passion for soccer and school will make me a valuable asset to any program.
