Busy.
That perfectly describes Coupeville High School sophomore Bree Daigneault, who has already lettered in three sports (soccer, cheer and tennis), while finding time to balance school work and a personal life.
She and her Wolf teammates take their 1-0 record on the road to Sequim today for a non-conference girls’ soccer game, giving Daigneault a chance to continue to live her love affair with the sport.
“I enjoy soccer for too many reasons to count,” she said. “I have played for about six or seven years and I started in rec just because it looked like fun!”
On the pitch Daigneault bounces around, generally playing outside mid, but sometimes slipping up to forward.
Wherever she lines up, she always has an eye on honing her skills and helping out her teammates.
“I need to work on taking the ball out of the air, but I think my strengths are in my teamwork and ability to move the ball around the field,” she said.
“This soccer season we have a lot of seniors, so I think it would be great if we could make it to districts for them!,” Daigneault added. “I have played with the seniors for a few years now and they most definitely have helped me get better; I want to continue to learn from them.”
A big fan of the Seahawks and Sounders, she gravitates towards classic rock and upholds both parts of the student/athlete equation.
“I really enjoy school,” Daigneault said. “Math and English are probably my favorite subjects.”
Whether she’s on the pitch, in the classroom or out and about, she draws inspiration from a number of directions.
She looks up to professional female soccer players like Mia Hamm and Hope Solo, but finds her biggest fans close by.
“My parents have always encouraged me to do what I love, and I love soccer.”
