Ben Chavez '23 Recruiting Profile

Since the time I was 4 years old,  my dream of playing soccer at the collegiate level has never wavered. I am so grateful for the opportunities I have been given to play the game that I love and to be fully back into soccer after the pandemic. I have learned so much about myself and about overcoming obstacles throughout the past two years. I grew 10 inches and gained 50 pounds, which caused me to have to work hard to retrain my body and regain my balance and agility. I also had to work hard to refocus and reengage in school after a year and a half of online learning. To do this, I played high school soccer and  volleyball, as well as participated in many school events,  in addition to club soccer. I now have a better appreciation for school and understand the importance of human interaction. I have a 3.2 GPA and will continue to work to get it higher.  I am a hard worker, but also like to have fun! My hobbies include volunteering in church ministries, hanging out with friends, and video games. My goals are to attend a four year university with a major in Business Administration  and to play soccer!

I am ready to take on new challenges and work hard to achieve my dreams!
