Spending weekends in hotels traveling to college identification caps is a big part of the recruiting process. On December 10, 2022, after a morning basketball game and some private soccer training, my dad and I traveled to Indianapolis and spent the night before heading to the University of Indiana Women’s Soccer Talent ID Camp.
After a night spent near the Indianapolis Speedway watching Wisconsin play Pitt in the NCAA Volleyball quarter-finals, we got up early and drove the rest of the way to Bloomington. Sometimes I have friends with me at a camp. Sometimes I know a few of the players there because I have played against them. Sometimes I don’t know anyone. Luckily, my teammate, goalkeeper, Eme McClenahan was attending this camp as well.
Overall I really liked the facilities at Indiana and it was a fun camp. Indiana head coach Erwin van Bennekom is intense. I thought I showed my skills pretty well and had a good trip.
