Hunter Talak '22 Recruiting Profile

I started playing AYSO Soccer when I was 5 years old and fell in love with the game. I started playing on my first club soccer team in 2012 .  I can play multiple positions including:  attacking  mid, outside mid, defensive mid and forward.

I am very disciplined, alert, focused, engaged, a  good listener and I can adjust my game according to what my coach asks of me. I am extremely quick and I  have exceptional  ball-handling  and  passing skills.  I try to set an example both on and off the field for my peers. I train daily, be it with my team(s) or by myself, always working hard to improve my skill set.  Sports have taught me a lot about myself,  about winning as well as losing.  Being an athlete has also taught me about what it means to be a part of a team.  I offer positive motivation to my teammates.  I am very competitive but I always show good sportsmanship.  I enjoy playing with the most competitive  teams because it helps me to become a better player.  Most importantly, I have a lot of respect for the other players on my team and my coaches. I constantly appreciate feedback and I have been told several times that I am extremely coachable.  Effort  is what I am known for,  this includes in the classroom, on the field, and as a recruit.

I hope to attend a college where I can challenge myself  both academically and athletically and that will  fit my needs for a degree in Biology/Engineering and a position on the soccer team.  I desire to play soccer at the highest level possible.  I also aspire to become a successful student.
