Tai Guzzi '21 Recruiting Profile

I began playing the beautiful sport of soccer at the age of five for Baldwin’s recreational league along with playing baseball for GBWAA which lasted 4 years. Later with certainty, I realized that baseball was a hobby and not something that I wanted to pursue, which led me to leave baseball and focus on my love for soccer. Two years later I joined the Baldwin travel and then at the age of twelve I was fortunate to have my first offer to join a club team by the name of Pittsburgh Football Club. I originally joined the team as a forward which brought me to question if I should quit my dream or work hard until something worked out. During a tournament, the coach asked me to drop back into the backline where I earned a starting spot as a center back and eventually an outside back. Here I learned leadership, commitment, competitiveness, heart, and that it takes adaptation to be the best. I later sought more and joined Beadling FC in 2018 where I now continue to look towards the next level. I want a college that can match a high competitive atmosphere both in athletics and academic focus in the fields of engineering and business. Being a well experienced player, I know for sure that I have what it takes to be on your team.
