Lucas Barbalace '21 Recruiting Profile

Hi!

The first thing that comes to the reader attention is the fact that I am from Argentina. To be honest, no matter how hard I search, I definitely can’t find a way to succeed and pursue my dreams in this country.

Not long ago, I was introduced in the world of an American student-athlete and its prospects for the future. I did my own research, and I came to the conclusion that I could build myself a future through this system, given my experience in Soccer. 

Now don’t get me wrong, I would be lying if I say that I prioritize soccer over academics, because that is just nonsense, or at least for me. Maybe in a few years I will have a different perception, but right now, I want to be a Commercial Pilot and I am fully committed to work as hard as I need to achieve my goals. 

Last but not least, I think of me as a very disciplined and responsable person, probably because I have been formed at an Air Force High School. The important thing is that I know for a fact that if the opportunity presents, I am going to take advantage of it and I wont let down the people that trusted me.
