Vicente Lopez '21 Recruiting Profile

Since I was very little, soccer has been my passion. The fact of having a Spanish father, had a big effect on my interest in soccer. I have been following soccer for as long as I can remember and have always dreamed about playing in a major league and becoming a professional soccer player.

In this regard, I started  practicing and training when I was 6 years old, first in a recreational team, and shortly after, playing for Real Miami (formerly Real Madrid academy) in Miami, FL. During all my years in this academy, I have been improving my skills, technique, speed and strength, and with the help of my teammates, we were able to reach number 3 in Florida.

Aside from this competitive scenario, on my free time I have attended several Soccer clinics, to further improve my skills and knowledge. Also, on  Aug, 2017, I was invited to participate during one week at Bayern Munich training sessions and games in Munich, Germany. I was invited as well with Kaptiva Sports Academy to compete in MIC (Mediterranean International Cup) in Barcelona, Spain from 27-Mar thru 1-Apr, 2017. These were incredible experiences and opportunities to see with my own eyes what professional training and competition is all about.  I have continued improving my skills every summer thereafter (Real Federacion Española de Futbol, summer of 2018- two weeks of intensive training) and on summer 2019, two weeks on Saul ñiguez Camp in Alicante, Spain.

I am looking forward to continuing and expanding my soccer career in a competitive university where I can also continue with my Education progress, that it is imperative to become a successful person. Soccer discipline has, is and will help me achieve my career goals.
