Garrett Bianchi '24 Recruiting Profile

As far back as I can remember I have loved soccer.  As soon as I was able to read I started studying the sport.  I started playing recreational soccer when I was five.  Shortly after I started playing club soccer and also played in middle school and currently in high school.  I believe my biggest athletic asset to a team is my ability to read the field and interpret the flow of the game.  I have been told by coaches that I have the ability to "pace" the game.  I also possess strong technical skills and defensive skills that I believe will be an added asset.  I will continue to sharpen those skills and hope to develop at a higher level.

However, I believe one of my greatest strengths on and off the field is mental toughness.  I am willing to stand out by not following the crowd if it means to compromise my values and morals.  My values and morals are very important to me and I believe I can influence others in a positive way by supporting and encouraging my teammates.  

I am not motivated by external rewards but by determination.  I will  push myself to reach my goals of playing soccer at the highest level possible and at the same time be successful in academics.  I would like to pursue a career in architecture and design.  My passion for art, nature and music play a big part in my career choice.  I also love snowboarding and hiking.  In addition, I have played recreational basketball and AAU as well as track.  

I believe that if one person fails on a team, the whole team fails.  That is why I strive to build up individuals in hopes to strengthen the whole team.
