Cedric Rodríguez '24 Recruiting Profile

I started playing sports at a very early age, exposing myself to strong international

competitions at the age of five. Since then, I have been making an effort to be one of the

most diligent and dedicated players and recruits you ́ll ever meet.

I have very good sports skills in the sport of soccer, such as good ball handling, speed,

and dexterity with my two legs. Thanks to all my skills and abilities, I am a multi-functional

athlete, as I can play multiple positions. One of my greatest virtues is my interpretation

and vision of the game. In addition, I have skills and values such as companionship,

teamwork, and leadership. I love being competitive and training hard.

Since I was six years old, I have participated in the sports of my school, in which I have

stood out, obtaining awards and experiences. I participated in sports such as track and

field, soccer, and volleyball. These experiences, along with my passion for soccer, led me

to attend the best soccer academies in my country and, at the same time, participate in

important tournaments. I managed to be called up to the National Soccer Team of Puerto

Rico, with which I won the silver medal in the Caribbean Tournament, CONCACAF. I have

also participated in competitions in Spain and the Dominican Republic. Since 2018, I have

been training at Club Atlético Banfield in Argentina, which allowed me to belong to the

2006 team. This experience led me to live in Argentina for a year when I was only 15

years old.

Over the years, I have worked to maintain a good GPA and have managed to have a

good balance between sports and school. Now, I participate in track, volleyball, and

soccer teams where I have been awarded MVP trophies. I aspire to continue being the

excellent student and athlete I have always been.

Through my years as an athlete, I learned that just having interest is not sufficient and

that it needs to be supplemented with hard work and determination. This is why I want to

be able to study at a college where I can expose my values, experiences, and strengths

to achieve my college goals.
