For senior Kelsi Grinde, playing soccer for Lake City High School has been like being part of a big family with “20 sisters that I never got to have and a few extra parents.”
“Being part of a team is probably one of the best things about things about soccer,” Kelsi said. “Like Coach Ruchti has stressed to us this season, ‘At the end of the day, each other is all you've really got.’"
The 18-year-old is a member of the National Honor Society at Lake City. She’s a lettered athlete and has maintained a 4.0 GPA. She has her eyes set on attending the University of Montana to study pharmacy and eventually earn her doctorate in the field. Although she hopes to play soccer in college, she doesn’t have any definite plans yet.
“My career interests are mainly in the medical field because I really enjoy science, biology and chemistry in particular,” she said.
If there’s one thing that she’s learned from the sport is that she can accomplish anything if she focuses her mind on it.
“Sometimes a match is not won by skill but by your mindset and attitude, and that is something that definitely pertains to everyday living,” Kelsi said. “You may not always be the best, but if you believe you can do something, nothing can stop you.”
