Ari Lyubinsky '26 Recruiting Profile

My passion for soccer has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. From my earliest experiences kicking a ball. I am eager to take the next step in my soccer journey by playing at the collegiate level, where I can challenge myself both athletically and academically while contributing to a team’s success.

Soccer has not only shaped me into a dedicated athlete but has also shown me how to work with others and work with a team. I have learned to push myself, constantly while also seeking improvement in my fellow teammates. 

At the same time, I equally care about the academic challenges that come with playing college soccer. So far, I am a Junior at Gonzaga College HIgh School in Washington DC. I hold a 3.6 GPA and plan on majoring in ethier business or sports management in college. I understand the importance of balancing athletics with academics, and I am committed to maintaining high standards in both areas. Outside of soccer and school, I also have been playing the piano for the past eleven years, I participate at two recitals a year. 

Ultimately, my goal is to contribute to a program where I can make a positive impact on and off the field. I bring a strong work ethic, a team-first mentality, and an eagerness to succeed. I am ready for the challenge and excited to be part of a collegiate soccer program that shares the same passion as me.
