Christian Bowen '21 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has always been an important part of my life since my foot first touched a ball at 7 years old. My dad recognized my potential and became my coach. I was taught the fundamentals and was developed into a strong academy soccer player. As I began to grow so did the level of competition. I played with clubs that got promoted every season and I played against very difficult teams. Playing at these levels, at such a young age, made me stand out and helped me become a better player. Also my love for the game grew. Besides select, I have represented my middle school team, my high school teams. As a 6A school, we have very strong competition. Being able to train and play even more with school and club is a great experience. My starting experience and ability to examine many different play styles gives me a chance to change the way I play to help my teams and adapt to the opponent. As a Freshman, on the JV team, I received the “Best Offensive Player Award” for being the top goal scorer and creator on the team.

I ensure that I put in the work everyday. Outside of soccer training with my club and high school, I have done one on one sessions with some D-2 and D-3 level soccer players.

As a versatile student-athlete, I believe that my skills are able to compete at the collegiate level. My collegiate goal is to be offered a position to play on a men's soccer team at a high level of competition. I would like to make an early contribution to my college career as a Freshman. My ability to adapt to new environments, styles of play, and people is an asset. My aim is to be an impact player that is dependable, smart, and always seeking ways to help my team win. I can offer your team speed, agility, knowledge of the game, quickness, dedication, and one hundred percent commitment to the team and my academics.

Academically, I have strived to maintain a GPA above 3.7. I am currently a dual-enrollment student at a local university. I am capable of handling high school courses, college courses, as well as my club and high school soccer commitments at the same time all while maintaining my grades. One reason that I enrolled in dual enrollment is so that I would be equipped with the tools that I need to transition from high school courses to college-level course work and not have to struggle with balancing being a new college student and my commitment to college sports.

 I am the student you are looking for if you need a player who has the drive, determination, intensity, hustle, and understanding of sacrifice and hard work.
