Lindsey Whitmore
Otterbein UniversityGalena, OH
I have been an athlete for as long as I can remember. Trying a handful of sports in my youth and utterly failing at some, I was able to find soccer. After many college applications, it had then come down to the choice on if I wanted to continue playing at the next level or if I was ready to hang up my cleats. After endless nights of thinking, I was finally able to say that I was going to be a college athlete. I chose this path because playing soccer has shaped me into the person I have become today. I have made some of my greatest friends and I would not trade it for the world. I have been taught discipline and responsibility just by kicking a silly little ball into the back of a net. My motivation is my five year old self. Who if you were to ask she was convinced she was going to be in the 2020 Olympics winning gold with the US Women's National Team. She would have told you she was going to be the first female soccer player on the Columbus Crew. I decided not to retire for her. In school, I am currently majoring in Sport Management with a minor in marketing. I hope one day to be able to say I am the Director of Marketing for any sports team but if it involves soccer that of course would be a bonus. I want to be able to keep sports in my life for as long as I can. To be able to one day help those find the love for a sport the same way I did.
