Student-Athlete Profile

Blakely describes choosing the sport of soccer: “Being an athlete has always been such an integral part of who I am. I played every sport that I had the opportunity to throughout my childhood, but soccer was the sport that I held true passion for. Once I knew that i wanted to dedicate myself to focusing on one sport, I learned that there was no better feeling in the world than to give everything I had to my team. Commitment to improving every day, every week, and every year is how I learned to
become better on the field....one kick at a time. What I got out of that is the understanding that commitment is the key to satisfaction in life no matter what the game is.”

Favorite Athlete: Julia Lester at University of Florida
Favorite Inspirational Sports Movie: Seabiscuit
Favorite Inspirational Quote: “The pain you feel today will be the strength you feel
