Early life

Padelski grew up in Johnson City, Tennessee, the daughter of Anthony and Brandi Padelski, and has two brothers. [2] [3] She started playing soccer when she was four and decided to focus on it over other sports when she was eight or nine, idolizing United States striker Alex Morgan. [3] [4] Her family moved to Nolensville when she was in seventh grade. [5] She played club soccer for Tri-Cities United before joining an ECNL team more than an hour away in Knoxville. She then spent five years with Tennessee SC, where she earned ECNL All-American honors in 2023. [4] [6]

When she was 13, Padelski emerged as the top scorer for Nolensville High School with 31 goals and 7 assists in her freshman year in 2021. [7] [8] She scored 29 goals as a sophomore to help Nolensville win their regional title, providing game winners in the last two rounds of the regional tournament in 2022. [9] She scored 17 goals in just 7 games in her junior year in 2023, before she graduated one year early to start college at age 16. She chose not to forego college despite receiving interest from National Women's Soccer League clubs Kansas City Current, Racing Louisville, and San Diego Wave. [3] [10]

College career

Padelski featured in the starting lineup of 11 of her first 13 games for the Alabama Crimson Tide as a freshman in 2024. She scored on her home debut against Florida Atlantic. [2] [4]

International career

Padelski was first called up to the United States national under-16 team in October 2022. She helped the team win an invitational tournament in France the next year.
