It is a reminder to all how important hard work and dedication are when it comes to achieving your goals. Time to get to work!”

A native of Bowling Green, KY, Haddock played her youth soccer career with TSC and has signed on to play for TSC’s USL W League team. At TSC, she earned ECNL All-America honors and was named ECNL U17 Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year. For her high school, she was back-to-back Kentucky Gatorade Player of the Year as well as Miss Kentucky.
A First Team All-SEC player at Auburn University, Haddock was twice named SEC Player of the Week and three-time Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week after beginning her sophomore season with nine goals in her first 10 games.

“This is the result of countless hours of training, personal sacrifice, and commitment,” said USL W Assistant Coach and Haddock’s youth coach Ronnie Woodard. “Anna is the shining example of hard work, dedication, and believing in herself.”
“I couldn't be more thrilled for Anna,” USL W Head Coach Dalton Kaufman said. “I challenge anyone to find a more committed and dedicated player. This experience will not only take her game to the next level but will also benefit her teammates when she returns. I can't wait to see Anna on the pitch for us this season. She is truly an inspiration to our TSC family!”
