Michael (Mikey) Girard '28 Recruiting Profile

Hello Coach,

My name is Mikey Girard, and I’m a dedicated soccer player from the graduating class of 2028. I’ve been playing since I was six years old and currently compete in the MLS NEXT U16 league. I primarily play as a center defensive midfielder (6), center mid (8), or attacking mid (10), and I take pride in my versatility and understanding of the game.

Academically, I hold a 3.92 GPA and work hard both on and off the field. I was captain of the top ECNL Academy team at U12 and U13 and served as captain of the Charlotte FC MLS Youth Academy at U14. I’m known for my strong work ethic, leadership, and commitment to pushing myself and those around me to always give their best.

Outside of team training, I stay workout with Own Touch, and when I have the opportunity, I volunteer coach summer training sessions there as well. I truly enjoy giving back and helping younger players grow in the game I love.

My goal is to find a college program that’s a great fit both on the field and in the classroom. I aim to be a role model student and a pace-setter on the pitch—someone who leads by example, supports teammates, and plays with grit, speed, and intensity. I believe in being accountable and encouraging, especially when my teammates need a lift.

I would be honored to contribute to a competitive college soccer program and am confident that my drive, leadership, and passion for the game will make a positive impact on your team.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

Mikey Girard

Class of 2028
