Cole Malm '20 Recruiting Profile

Hi Coaches! My best qualities are my speed and my heart. I will always be the fastest player on the field and the last one to give up. Whether it is a 50/50 ball or we are losing by four goals, I will always want it more than the other person. I ask my Coach constantly what I need to improve on because I like to fix my problems and become a better player. He always tells me that my worst quality is being too confident with my speed, and he said this isn’t a problem for him because I have the speed to recover if necessary but other Coaches might see it as laziness. When I ask him what my best qualities are he always says my heart, fight and love for the game. Over the years I have had Coaches tell me I could be a hockey goalie because of my good reactions, I’ve also been told that I am the best left back in the state. The best was during my senior year high school season when I was talking with the assistant coach about our players and what they need to work on, and then afterwards I asked him what I needed to work on and he told me that I am one of the smartest players on the field and always know how to adjust and fix the situation without having to be told by a coach. This was the best compliment a coach has ever given me. I do not like talking about myself, and I do not like to brag, but when it comes to the soccer field, I know my place.
