Nirmal Magar '22 Recruiting Profile

I was born in Nepal March 12, 2004. My family and I moved to the U.S in 2010 seeking for better future. At first soccer was just an interest for me but when I met Yvonne(First coach), who invited me play for her team was when I got into league soccer. While playing for Yvonnes recreational soccer team, soccer became my whole passion I fell in love with the beautiful game! I would go home look at professional soccer players highlights to learn skills. So I then started taking care of my body and health, I knew if I wanted to become better player I’d need to practice more often and be consistent with my work ethics. I started going clubs and started noticing lots and lots of improvements! but club wasn’t just for me I wanted to take it to another level and play with adults! and older guys. During my summer in 2018 I got called up to play for this Nepali recreational amateur soccer team who was competing in all age tournaments at New York City but mainly men’s. At that tournament our team advanced through the finals and faced against “NYC FC” the team who had also advanced through the finals. The “NYC FC” team consisted players who were from Nepal that played in “Nepals National league “ while our players were just college young athletes, we gave our best but couldn’t manage to win. We became the runner up of the tournament as I was rewarded as the best defender of the tournament, my desire and intentions to improve and become better never stopped I started practicing much more to the point it became my hobby. Now I compete in an all age tournaments with different nationality teams, I want to play college soccer and stay committed to the game but also to enjoy, compete, improve.
