Anthony Ochoa '21 Recruiting Profile

I want to succeed in soccer. Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to go professional, its always been a dream of mine. I understand I have to sacrifice a lot to get there and I'm willing to. I've been playing soccer since I was 5 years old. For most of my young soccer career I was either the best or one of the best on the team. But I also understand what it means to be rejected because I was put on the B team for my club in 8th grade for the first time ever in my soccer career (In club soccer in around 2016, they changed the teams from late 2003-early2004 to 2 separate teams, one of all 2003s, and one of all 2004s). I was now one of the youngest kids on my team because I was born in November. I was one of the smallest kids on my team. My coach said I needed to get stronger and faster. And I worked so hard for it and made the A team the very next year. And I've been a starter on this team since then, without really ever getting substituted out. I think of myself as a good player with high IQ for the game, but at the same time I understand I need to keep getting better and better because there are no limits. I want to keep working and pushing to the next level. Its my way out. It's the way I want to live life. Its the way I can help my parents and myself in the future. I'm hungry for it. I WANT TO GO PRO! I want to play college soccer at the bare minimum. Its been in my head for 10 years now. I hope any college coaches/recruits know that I am ready to put in the work for the them, the college, and myself. If your reading this, thank you for your time.
