Ethan Valenti '20 Recruiting Profile

My dad and his side of the family are Italian, so they all played soccer and loved the game. Him and his three brothers all played college soccer. Ever since I was born soccer has been on the TV 24/7 and at the age of three, I started playing. As I got older my love for the game grew and now it is my life. I'd like to take my game to highest level I can. Team- wise I have captain material characteristics. I'd run through a wall for the team. I defininetly lead by example showing my will to win and love of the game. I have a very competitive personality. If its just a small sided game in practice, a lot of the time I take it as the World Cup Final. In addition, I can be very vocal on the field, giving directions and motivating my teammates. Game- wise I'm very skilled with the ball and my knowledge of the game as at a top level. I can help control games in the middle. I don't get nerved with the ball at my feet. I'm a player who needs to get the ball a lot and then distribute it. The best part of my game is combing in the middle and taking guys on 1v1. I can set up goal scoring chances, but also my defensive work is vital. I can stop the rhythm of the other teams midfield, and I am not scared to get into a tackle.
