Adrian Arvizu '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello, My name is Adrian Arvizu I started playing soccer when I was three years old and began playing competitive soccer at the age of six.  What motivated me the most about soccer was my older brother, I looked up to him my entire life wanting to be just as good as he was - if not even better.  What improved my game as a player, was always competing with him, he would constantly challenge me.  That pushed me to work even harder.  We would watch games/videos on soccer and practice together. I grew up not missing a day of soccer, I played all year round. When I wasn't playing during the regular soccer season my dad would take me to La Liga, so I could gain more touches on the ball.  Ever since I was little I have always aspired to play college soccer, I want to play at the highest level.

All of my coaches have been pleased with my soccer abilities because I always work hard on the field. I constantly show leadership, commitment, and dedication.  I have been told I am very coachable.   In high school, my freshman year I was chosen as captain amongst my fellow teammates.  I've played soccer in all areas around the  Bay Area, SoCal, Vegas, and Oregon.  At thirteen years old I had the privilege to visit and play at Sheffield Wednesday and play against Sheffield United Youth Academies. I've seen many different styles of play as I adapt to compete against whoever I'm against.

I'm very passionate about soccer.  I enjoy playing with teammates that have the same passion and dedication as I do.  I am looking forward to playing soccer at the college level because I want to build a brotherhood where we can all encourage one another and build a strong team foundation.
