Mark Larochelle '21 Recruiting Profile

My dad played at Brown University during his college days and since I was little it has been my dream to play at the college level. I have been playing soccer since I was 3 years old and I have been taking soccer seriously since 7 years old. I have been one of the top players in my class at Robbinsville High School and I am one of the fastest when I am on the field.

Freshman year I didn't get playing time because the team had a heavy senior class and I was not physically strong enough at the time and Sophomore year I was recovering from a surgery,  which I have fully recovered from and only become strong from. Junior and Senior year are going to be my break though years because I am getting better everyday. I am also a leader on the field and I encourage my teammate to work their hardest on and off the pitch by working hard everyday I train with them.  I am also a versatile player, I can play anywhere on the pitch from center back to striker.

I push myself everyday in school but Freshman year was a difficult adjustment from 8th grade but Sophomore year i'm take it ten times more seriously and if it comes to partying or school, it is studying for that test 10 out of 10 times. I also volunteer at soccer camps whenever I get the chance, the last two summers I have volunteered at Bob Smith Soccer Academy because it was where I grew up and really learned the fundamentals of soccer. I plan on volunteering for the believe program in my town where I help teach kid with special needs to play soccer and give them the chance to enjoy and have a passion for the sport just like I do.
