Alexandro Ruiz '22 Recruiting Profile

To play college level soccer has always been a dream of mine. Ever since I was four years old, I started playing soccer. My dad took me into a team with my cousin so we can join together and see if we can find a hobby out of it. Within the first couple of weeks I was timid I was not too sure about it. I was scared to play my first ever game as a goalie. Within time I gained confidence, I gained strength. My coaches, teammates and parents would always talk to me after about what I should work on. Being four years old I was taught to take harsh opinions and hate from other kids my age. But that wanted me to become better to prove others wrong. Twelve years later I am here playing for multiple teams at once and for some of the big ones too. Within these twelve years of practice i’ve been developing different skills and techniques to make myself better. I have played different positions for different seasons. I have built leadership skills when working with my teammates. I want to become someone who will inspire others to follow their dreams. Playing soccer in a college level will get me there. It will get me to become more knowledgeable. It will help other colleges and known recruiters know who I am and what I am about. It will help not only me but also my family, they too have worked hard for this
