Jonathan Dodd '13 Recruiting Profile

I am a very versatile athlete. Any position that needs to be filled, I can play it. At 5 feet 11 inches, 150 pounds, I bring a physical presence to central midfield. I have very good passing ability, accuracy, and technique. Also I have very good control. I can shoot from anywhere. I do not dribble often, but confident enough to beat someone to get out of pressure, shoot, or cross. I am a very strong tackler, and good at taking set plays (corners, freekicks, penalties). I also have great vision and can make any type of through ball. Motivated to continually improve my skills I regularly train 1-on-1 with Alex Bunbury and Ralph Akale (rasofmn.com). I also train with the Minnesota Thunder Academy Elite 97 team trained by Mark Yueill (ranked 1 in MN, 25 in Region2). I have attended ODP training 2008, 2009, and 2011. I attended Region II ODP Tournament 2012 and was featured on Top 10 Scorers List.

I am an organized and motivated student. I get good grades - A's and B's. I excel in languages - English and Spanish; Social studies, and Science. I am a strong reader, writer, and speller. I took 4 years of Spanish. I am a member of the Diversity Club at Burnsville High - raising awareness of the richness that cultural, social and individual differences bring to the high school.
