Kaynan Silva '24 Recruiting Profile

Since I was 8 years old, growing up in Brazil, soccer has been my greatest passion. It's more than just a game to me—it's a part of who I am. The thrill of being on the field, the dedication it takes, and the bond with teammates have shaped me in so many ways. As I've gotten older, I've come to see how much soccer impacts not just our bodies, but our minds too. This realization made me want to study psychology because I truly believe in the importance of mental health, both in sports and in life. Now, I'm looking to use my skills in soccer to help me get into college in the U.S. and pursue a degree in psychology. I’m excited about the opportunity to combine my love for the game with my academic goals, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me.
