Marko Gasparac '25 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play soccer at a post secondary institution(DIV 1 or 2) and achieve my goal of playing professional soccer. I plan to go college and improve my soccer skills and playing style in order to reach higher levels of soccer and to obtain a degree in a field that I am passionate about (don't know what that is yet) but, also develop as a person/student. I have good strength, aerial ability, speed, soccer IQ and vision . I am respectful to all my coaches, teachers, and peers/teammates.

I am a true team player and a fierce competitor. I have a high soccer IQ, good strentgh, speed and vision as well as a strong passing ability. I can also win a lot of head balls and I'm not afraid to put my body on the line for my team. I also understand that it is the unity and collective strength of any team that creates wins and overall success and championships. I will bring a deep rooted pride ,passion and hunger to compete and represent the team and University in the best possible way!  
I am extremely versatile as I have played the position of  Striker, Right Back, and Holding Mid. My main position currently is Centreback and I am able to play in a four back or 3 back. I believe that being versatile, having a strong soccer IQ and understanding the game on the defensive and offensive sides of the field sets me apart from one dimensional players . 
I make the effort to develop everyday and put in the time away from the field. I compete hard at training and my games and I do the work away from the field as well.

I broke a long standing time record in Grade 10 (June 2023) at my high school for the "Windermere Run", which is a 0.5 mile sprint around the perimeter of the school grounds.  My time was 2:26 minutes.
