Nathaniel Valles '17 Recruiting Profile

The firs time I ever stepped on the pitch was at the age of 3,  I have now been playing soccer for 13 years and ever since it has been my escape. I have had a lot of experience with many different levels of play and have been selected for the ODP (Olympic Development Team) for 3 years in a row and have had great success. As Far as club goes I have always played for the top team in our age group and have advanced to tournaments as far as regionals. I am a very hard working and dedicated Student Athlete, I would like to emphasize the fact that I am not just an athlete but a student as well due to the fact that school is what gives me soccer and they both have fulfilled there job in giving me guidance on and off the field. I am a very technical player and believe I am a strong leader on and off the field. I have played in a variety of positions from a center back to a center attacking mid,  to a forward and It has given me a very strong feel for everywhere on the field. Out of the 3 I feel most comfortable as an attacking center mid, as I like to distribute the ball however when the opportunity is given to take it at the defense and disconnect their back line. As high school is coming to an end, I am not anywhere near giving up my soccer career and want to paly at the top competitive level in college. I believe that soccer has given me everything and In return I want to give the sport what it has given me.

Sincerely, Nathaniel Valles
