Michael Baty '25 Recruiting Profile

I love the game of soccer. I have the mindset of I will do anything that I set my mind to no matter how out of reach it is or seems.  I play soccer at a high level playing in ODP regional teams, MidSouth, National League P.R.O., ECNL, and 6 state championships.  I can be a goal scorer or a playmaker in any position you would need. I’m a player that is willing to listen and learn from the best and play at the highest level possible and shine at that level. My goal is to play soccer in college and then professionally. 

I plan to major in business at college with the goal of managing a soccer team when I retire from playing professional soccer.  I believe soccer and business have many important similarities including being a team player, owning your mistakes, going the extra mile, creating opportunities, being able to accept criticism and coaching, and stepping up as a leader and example to the rest of the team.  On and off the field, I continuously challenge myself to do better; I will never settle for good enough.
