Ilan Mselati '20 Recruiting Profile

Dear Coach,

I am dynamic goal keeper, with good reflexes and positioning. I played in French clubs since I am 6.

I was selected to play in my previous years in the LOSC  team (Lille - France) as the main goal keeper. LOSC, is a ligue1 club who has great programs for its youth.  (For example: Eden Hazard was discovered in LOSC).

in July 2018 I moved from France to Texas,  was the starter GK (10th grade) at Trinity Varsity High school team.  we reached Regional Q. Final.

late in May 2019 , I joined Solar ECNL/DA  U16,  and went to the ECNL National Playoffs in Rockwood, IL.  Also reached Q. Final.

Now, as the main goalkeeper of the DA U17 team, we are one of the best team in the south division.

I live, eat and dream soccer. I am very motivated, and have a winner spirit. I definitely  want to become a professional goal keeper. MLS or internationally.

I am friendly, motivating my team mates, and have the desire to always improve .

Academics:

Although my first language was not English (but French), I am doing very well at school.

I discovered an interesting field of study at my school: "Court  Systems and Practices." I am thinking in pursuing a career in this field. 

Of course my "plan A" is professional soccer, however in case of injury, and not been able to play, I will turn to "plan B", which is Court and Law studies.  However I am putting all my efforts at the moment in plan A, and concurrently work on my backup plans. 

*Other interests I discovered recently - The Swat Team.  (in France, in 9th grade, every student has to do an internship of 1 week in a work environment in order to learn about professional life), and I was able to do spend a week in the French Swat Team (called the RAID). I really enjoyed the course and activities, learned a lot, and was impressed of the calm and quality of the people in this unit.   

Astronomy, medicine, chemistry, and many other subjects do interest me a lot!

As I am still young, it is hard to be sure 100% what exactly I want to do in life... There are many amazing fields of study, and the more I discover new fields, the more it excites me to try those, just to make sure this is what I want to do most of my life... 

However, there is one thing for sure, is that soccer (If I am able to avoid crippling injuries) - is currently my primary interest.

If you pick me, and the academics at your college/university allows me to learn and prepare me for the future, you will find in me, a dedicated goal keeper, with a good and friendly attitude, who has a professional and  hard working spirit.

Due to the Corona Virus, I switched to online schooling and graduated May 1st, 2020

Thank you.
