My name is Anna Keffer. I am starting my junior year at Northampton Area High School located in Pennsylvania. I play in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference (EPC) for high school and compete in one of the most competitive brackets. I was the varsity starting goal keeper both my freshman and sophomore years. My freshman year, I recorded 103 saves throughout the season and in 10 games I recorded 100 saves my sophomore season.

During my sophomore season, I developed strongly as a player and worked hard to show my skill and stand out. I had received recognition from several other high schools and their coaches.

I started playing at FC Lehigh Soccer Club at the U-10 level and have been participating in club soccer ever since. This is my first year playing for Vincent United Soccer Club on the U-17 Crush led by Craig Reed. Previously, I played for Western Lehigh United Soccer Club on the U-16 Jaguars coached by Bruce Morris. I currently work with Ashley Blanks, a former Lehigh University Goalkeeper. To keep myself fit, I lift weights and train at St. Luke’s Human and Sports Performance Center. I take great pride in being a student-athlete and look forward to playing soccer at the collegiate level.

Although I love being out on the soccer field and being an athlete, I also invest time in my academics as well. I am a distinguished honor roll student and currently enrolled in Advanced Placement and Honors classes. My current weighted grade point average is 4.015; I currently rank 49 out of 419 students in my junior class. I take both my soccer and academic careers very seriously. I will graduate in June of 2017.

I am a leader both on and off the field. During my experience at Western Lehigh, I held a leadership role. I am able to control my line of defense with my communication and intense work ethic on the field. I believe one of my best qualities on the soccer field, aside from my leadership ability, is my fearlessness. I do not back down from a challenge and I love competing at high levels. I am a determined player and I strive to increase my technical skills and fitness every day. I believe I balance my academics and athletics well.
