Joseph Christiana '21 Recruiting Profile

Winning the Region 1 ODP Eastern NY Championship as a sophomore was the highlight of my high school career. However, I feel I grew the most as a student-athlete in my junior year when our Hicksville High School Varsity team didn't make the Nassau County Championships. That experience helped me grow as a person and lead me to re-focus my own efforts on becoming a solid defender, capable of playing at the college level.

I was fortunate enough to be part of two amazing programs, the Eastern NY ODP Program for the last three years and the LIJSL Hicksville Storm for the last two years.  I learned the value of teamwork, commitment, sacrifice, and leadership. I'm looking for a program that will be a good fit for me athletically as well as academically. I believe I not only have the talent to compete for a college team, but the character, work ethic, and leadership skills to make an immediate impact on your program. As a scholar-athlete with a 4.0 GPA and experience in multiple soccer programs and academies, I know that I have what it takes to be a leader on your team!
