Alex Tiedt '24 Recruiting Profile

I have many aspirations that I plan to achieve in college. One of many is to compete in college soccer, and I plan to achieve this by working hard every day. 

Through my freshman and sophomore years of high school, I trained with the European Soccer Institute, that transitioned into French Soccer Académie. We have high intensity trainings 4-5 times a week and play showcases throughout the fall and spring. We train with Class A licensed coach Stephane Auvrey. During spring break of 2022, we went on a trip to Canne, France, to stay at Hildago academy for 13 days. In these days we scrimmaged against some of the top teams in the area and trained with other residents in the academy. This experience helped me understand many of the players that I will be competing against and what some of the top talents in France have to offer. This experience has helped shape me into the player and person I am today and have a better understanding of the player that I am and want to evolve into.

I have a range of experience through the spine of the field. As a child, I played center back, and around the age of 12, I started transitioning to play the 6. Now that I am 17 years old, I play the 6, 8, and 10. I have grown most comfortable in a 6 since I have played that most of my life, but have also become an 8 that can push high up the field and create opportunities and goals with my technique, vision and finishing with both feet.

I played my first season with Shawnee Mission East in the fall which helped me hone my offensive talents and become a better leader on and off the field.

I am now training with Kansas City Scott Gallagher, and am on the ECRL squad. I am going to many showcases with this team during the winter and spring, and am also going to ID Camps that I have chosen.

With my work ethic that I have crafted throughout my time playing soccer, I plan to major in Psychology and minor in Spanish in my college years.

I am a hard worker who can be coached very easily. I am looking for a soccer program that can help me reach my maximum potential.
