James (Allen) Gore '20 Recruiting Profile

My goal in soccer is to become the best player that I can be in hopes that I can play at the college level; I hope that after college I can compete at a professional level.  During practice I like to have fun but at the same time I try to make sure that everyone is at their best and not messing around. I have to set the example as a two year captain that hard work is needed so that we can win games.  I try to push my team mates to their fullest potential because I know that your team is only as good as your weakest link. Every game, I play all 80 minutes with no sub, only a half time break. Even after sprinting all through the game I still find it in me to make another run whether that is defending or attacking.  Right now depending on the team, my coach has me playing every position.  When we play opponents that have a lot of talent he puts me at center back to try and lock everything down so that the opponent can not score.  When we are playing team that as similar to us in talent the coach puts me at center mid so that I can control the field and create attacks along with still being able to get back at defense.  When we play school that are below are talent the coach puts me at midfield and the sends me up to forward so that we can score as many times as possible. I take school just as serious as I do soccer; I have a high GPA  and I am currently taking college classes at our local college.  Every time I have an assignment do I make sure that it is always good and turned in on time.
