Dane Stanchina '17 Recruiting Profile

My parents have always told me to go for what I think I can achieve and college soccer is a goal I want to strive for. They said that when I was young all I wanted to do was play soccer when I grew up. Now I dropped all other sports I played and focus on just soccer. I am a good candidate for your team because I practice day in and day out to be the best. I was a captain for the team as a junior. Coach loved that I tried my hardest to be the best one at practice everyday. You will always get 110% out of me.  I'm different from other recruits because I try my hardest on everything I do. Soccer is my sport and I hate losing in it. In Peshtigo this past season I scored a goal in the first 2 minutes of the game and a minute later I was going for my second goal. I went up for the header and got an elbow to the forehead. I needed to go to the hospital to get stitches but i wanted it to get glued because my plan was to go back in but the doctor told me I shouldn't. I was told by the athletic trainer not to go in. I lied to my coach saying I could play but I did it so I could help the team because the were struggling the whole game without me. I have passion for the sport and that is what separates me from other athletes.
