Joey Simonis '24 Recruiting Profile

I enjoy playing soccer almost every day of the year and play sweeper, mid, defense and forward. I have played since the age of 4 on recreational teams, the Kaos Titans competitive team in Redding (since 6th grade), and all of my school teams including Sacred Heart Grammar School in Red Bluff, California, University Preparatory School Junior High School in Redding, California and currently as a sophomore at Red Bluff High School in Red Bluff, California. I have been to soccer camps locally where I was nominated most valuable player and also attended the Stanford soccer camp where my team won the competition. I weight train and focus on strength training for soccer. I am very athletic and enjoy both the physical and mental aspects of soccer. 

In addition to soccer, I am interested in engineering, science and chemistry. I am a student pilot and hope to have my pilots license by the time I am 17.  I like creative building and designed and built a waterwheel to generate power from the river to my house. I also like building computers, 3D printing and computer aided design. I play the piano and bass and have performed locally and with the University Preparatory Orchestra. I live on a cattle ranch in Red Bluff, California and know how to operate tractors, backhoes, skip loaders, etc.  I like to be useful, work hard and enjoy being part of a team.

Please let me know if you think that I might be a good candidate for your team.
