James Bird '23 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer when I was about 5 years old, and since then soccer has become a huge part of my life.  Because the sport is so important to me, I know I have to keep improving if I want to win. My greatest asset is my versatility, as I have experience playing multiple positions (winger, full-back, and center-back) and can use both feet well. On the field, I use my strengths to my advantage by using my speed or combining with my teammates to beat defenders. Overall winning is the most important thing, so wherever I play on the field doesn't matter, as long as I'm helping my team win.
