Daniel Velasquez '18 Recruiting Profile

Winning the 2015 MPSSAA 4A East region Championship and 2016 AACPS County Championship were the biggest accomplishments in my high school career. I think that losing the MPSSAA 4A State Championship my sophomore year was the biggest downfall in my high school career maybe even in my entire career as a whole. That year I experienced a lot.. whether it was teamwork, being a family, playing together, thinking as a unit, making sacrifices, dedication, hard work, leadership, qualities of a team player or a player as a whole but the most important thing is our love for the game. I grew a lot that season, it made me a better player and a better person as a whole. After that year I took the time to think and work on my game and everything in general. I knew I had to step up my game and turn myself into a player that could compete at a college level.

These past years at Meade they have been some of the best moments of my life and it crafted me into a better player and person. I've been blessed enough to play at Meade and be a part of their program they have a great and growing soccer program. I learn more and more every year and about the qualities of a soccer player. Winning trophies aren't always everything that season I learned a lot and grew as a player even without a trophy. I believe that I have the qualities, experience, work ethic, commitment, and leadership skills to make a big difference in your program. I am a one sport athlete and I play soccer year round, I know that I can do whatever it takes and have what it takes to be a leader in your program!
