Carlo Pietrolungo '22 Recruiting Profile

In the summer of 2022, I accepted an offer from York University (Toronto) Kinesiology Program and deferred as I signed with U.S. Viterbese club (Italy) to play on the Primavera Serie B U19 team.

I am a trilingual student-athlete (English, French, Italian) who has won many awards and has participated in extra-curricular activities. I am a dedicated high-performing athlete who has enjoyed playing many sports from a young age, including soccer, hockey, volleyball, basketball, tennis, lacrosse, cross-country, and jiu-jitsu.  

I am a strong, right-footed, and physically fit midfielder, with exceptional accuracy and a powerful shot. What makes me different from other athletes is my work ethic, my desire to continuously improve, and my resilience after a loss or an unsatisfactory moment in a game.  I have been told that in addition to my technical soccer skills, one of my greatest strengths is my vision of the game and the ability to corral and lead the team.  

"Success is no accident. It is hard work. Perseverance, learning. studying, sacrifice, and most of all love of what you are doing or learning to do". - Pelé 

I believe in making connections and building a network and I look forward to meeting coaches from various universities and clubs.
