Shane Connolly '22 Recruiting Profile

From the moment I stepped out onto the soccer field in second grade, I found a passion for the game. In my first soccer game my coach had to pull me out of the game because I scored 6 goals in the first half. Ever since then, my hunger to succeed in the game of soccer was through the roof. That desire to win and succeed has driven me to find clubs where I could play at the highest level of soccer possible. Along the way I was scouted to play at several prep schools in the greater Philadelphia area. I chose to attend Germantown Academy (Fort Washington, PA) where I was selected to start on the varsity squad. At this school I also am able to enjoy the competitive academics and other sports which enhance my skill level. My long-term goals include attending a high level Division 1 College where I can be seen on the National level. On the soccer pitch or in any sport I've never accepted second best or mediocrity. I've always shown heart and hustle in practice and games no matter what the circumstance. My teammates are very important to me and we always work together to achieve our goals on and off the field. I believe I have the drive and skill-set to help build a winning team. The feedback I have always received from my coaches is they can't teach my passion or speed. If I attend your College/University in the future I will bring all of these attributes to the table.
