For West Park High School sophomore Liv Miller, competition is an opportunity to learn, improve and help her team succeed. The Class of 2029 soccer player has been developing her game since age three, earning a varsity starting role and making an immediate impact during her freshman season.
Playing striker and winger, Miller averaged 1.8 assists per game, led her league in assists and earned Playmaker of the Year honors as a freshman on varsity. Her ability to create scoring opportunities gave her an important role in West Park’s attack early in her high school career.
Outside of school, Miller competes for Davis Legacy Soccer Club’s U16 ECNL team, playing forward and outside back. Those roles challenge her to contribute in both attacking and defensive situations. She has also earned a Player Development Program invitation through her club soccer involvement.
Miller approaches strong opponents with a desire to understand what makes them successful. When she faces a team or player with more ability, she studies how they play and looks for lessons she can apply to her own game. That competitive mindset is rooted in wanting to improve both individually and for her teammates.
Her athletic experience extends beyond soccer. Miller also played varsity flag football as a freshman, adding another sport to her first year at West Park.
In the classroom, she is taking four dual enrollment courses this year while working toward a future that combines academics and athletics. Her goal is to earn a scholarship to a four-year university, where she hopes to study kinesiology.
Miller also stays involved in her school’s athletic community as a member of the Panther Athletic Council and the Women in Sports Club. Whether competing, studying or participating on campus, she is building a high school experience shaped by her interest in sports.
On the field, she wears No. 15 for Davis Legacy and No. 12 for West Park—two numbers she considers lucky. Behind those numbers is a player determined to keep learning, create opportunities for her teammates and work toward playing at the next level.
