Jaiden Reid '24 Recruiting Profile

I've been involved with sports ever since I could walk. Early on I was able to compete in various sports from football to track and field, but ultimately I remained faithful to soccer. Soccer provided me with the creative outlet and team-oriented experience I desperately needed. Throughout the years I've transposed my personal persistence into soccer, which I see as my relentless desire to always keep improving. My dedication to the sport is expressed through the work I put in both on and off the field, improving myself not only physically but mentally as well. As a player I am always the first to challenge for a 50/50 ball, always the first to take on players, always the first to recover, and always the first to pick up the intensity after conceding. I would describe myself as a versatile winger whose able to adapt to any situation I am put under, for example, a position change. This adaptive nature is something I see as useful as I advance to play at the collegiate level. I played and still continue to play the sport for the kid who over 10 years ago stepped on the pitch for the very first time.
