Giovanni Capellino Bozzo '24 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has been my passion ever since I started playing it when I was four years old. Every time I step on the field for a game or start a warmup, I feel the great passion that I share for the game. I am used to working hard, which makes my muscles feel sore, and that makes me happy because I know it is all part of my love for the sport. And then, when I score or set up my teammates to score, it is one of the best feelings in the world. 

I played for my school team when I lived in East Timor and for the Inter Milan Academy in Lebanon, and now I play for Asphalt Green  Soccer Club in New York City. I've had many different coaches who have taught me different things over the years, and I know I can get even better than I am now.

Academics is also important for me. I am an honor student at Fordham Prep High School in NY from the class of 2024. I currently have a 4.13 weighted GPA and wish to attend a school with a good balance of academics and athletics. 

I want to play for a team that can help me use my good attributes, improve my abilities, and make soccer a big part of my life. My preferred position is on the left wing, but I am often used in other positions all over the offensive third as an attacking midfielder, a right winger, and a central midfielder. My dribbling, passing, and vision make me a threat in the offensive third of the field as I often set up my teammates to score with key passes, create many big chances, and get many assists. 

Love for soccer is in my genes as my great grandfather was a professional soccer player playing in major Italian teams like Juventus during the 1930s.
