Ryan Vasko Summer...
IMG Showcase Feb ...Personal Statement
By way of background, I am an American who has lived my entire life overseas until I joined IMG Academy in 2022. I was born in Asia and grew up in Europe and the United Kingdom where I honed my soccer skills. I was trained at a professional soccer academy in the UK and have developed a unique and valuable perspective due to having played various styles of soccer for both academy and school soccer in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and now the US.
I play right back which is my natural position due to my bursts of speed which have allowed me to break away and create numerous scoring opportunities. I have been clocked with a speed of 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash and 2.64 seconds for the 20-yard dash which are the fastest speeds for my school age group.
I am late to the recruiting table having not lived in the US for very long, but I am confident I will be a game-changer for my coach and team.
I am committed to excellence on the pitch and academics and maintain an above 4.38 GPA. I've been told by my coaches that I am an influential player which is a role I take very seriously, and I try to ensure that I lead on and off the pitch.
