Alexander Baez '21 Recruiting Profile

My goals is to find a really good school for me, I really love this sport and wish to continue this journey as a soccer player in college and become a better version of myself. I want a challenge and I think this would be one because I would be stepping out of my comfort zone. I want to be happy and be able to not regret any decisions I make about my future school. I also want to make my whole family proud because my whole family really loves soccer both my moms side and my dads side so I want them to be proud of me. 

I want to be in a team where we all just feel like family and I get along with people easily so  think it would be easy for me to fit in with a brand new team. I love to learn more about the sport so I love playing with older kids so I could learn from them because they obviously have more experience then me so I aspire to learn from them. Overall I just love the game and I love to have fun whenever I play because it is just my passion. I would also say that I am able to take criticism which from my years of playing, not a lot of players can take criticism as much as others which I don't mind at all I think criticism makes you better because you learn from what other people see that you can't see. Whether it is from my teammates or my coaches, I listen to the criticism I get and I always try to improve from that. 

I am very determined when it comes to school as well. My whole high school I was really on top of my grades because I knew how important they would be for my future. This year has been very difficult for me and I would assume for many other people as well and I didn't live up to my expectations this semester with my grades, I could have done better but like I said this has been a very tough year. this year was the only year my grades have not been where they should be but I will improve that for my second semester for sure.
