Elian Sanchez '23 Recruiting Profile

Playing varsity as a freshman has helped me gain skills and experience.  I was able to fit into a team that had been together for a while.  I have been with many different teams and it has taught me how to adapt to the team's needs and personality.  I have played soccer competitively for 8 years and of those I played 4 years as goalie. My experience as a goalie has helped me get a better overall view of the game.  Although goalie is not my preferred postion at this point, I feel it was instrumental in increasing my game knowledge.  I would like to find a team that allows me to contribute as a midfielder or defender.  I am very coachable and able to take criticism well.  I work well under pressure while staying focused and determined.  Soccer is a stress reliever for me and I put it all out on the field.  I've grown up playing many different sports and there is no other sport that I have enjoyed like soccer.  My goal is to find a place where I can pursue a degree in science and still continue with my love for soccer.
