Jacob Burdick '22 Recruiting Profile

I have participated in many sports, but soccer is my passion! To me there is nothing that compares to the rush of competition.  The adrenaline I feel when I am on the field is like nothing else that I have encountered in my life.  I constantly challenge myself, my teammates, and opponents. I believe that my enthusiasm for soccer is infectious, and I have always tried to bring that energy to the rest of my team.

For some reason, the game has always made sense to me.  I have great vision and can quickly scan the field to find the best opportunity for a pass.  I have been told by my coaches that I have an extremely high game IQ.  I am blessed with speed so I am able to close on plays unexpectedly and easily break away from my opponents.   I have very quick feet and although I am left foot dominant, I can also pass and score with my right as well.  

Playing soccer is my passion and I hope to continue playing at the college level. I am a hardworking, dedicated, coachable player as well as a supportive teammate and leader. Though I am humbly proud of my athletic achievements, I always know that there is no substitute for hard work, and I constantly strive to be better both athletically and academically.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
