Josh Gomes '21 Recruiting Profile

Coming from a low income family, I never really had the money, resources and connections to really put myself out there and get coaches to notice me and play for better teams, but I have been blessed to play for two travel clubs which were pretty cheap considering they were both NSCL teams. I am currently playing for a recreational club here in Virginia because travel clubs are just too expensive for my parents and I especially since COVID is making things difficult for us financially speaking. I am hoping that any coach on this website sees talent in me and is willing to give me a chance to prove myself and support me in my dream of becoming a pro soccer player. 

My current collegiate goal is to get an athletic scholarship and play for a school in Virginia, because in state is cheaper and more close to home. I would like to major in anything history because history has always been my favorite subject and I've always enjoyed the class in school. I know most schools won't accept me due to my GPA being very low to their standards, but I still consider myself an intelligent person who tries his best in school.

 As far as character goes, I consider myself an outgoing person who likes to have fun and always laugh and bring good energy to the team. And as far as athletic goes, I consider myself a competitive person who always pays attention to what's being instructed, I like motivating my teammates to improve and keep striving and pushing to be a better player, and I always give my all in every game I play in. I think I am a good candidate for any team because I am a pacey player who can beat players with speed and I am not afraid of taking players on, and I can also contribute with goals and assists and overall do well for my team and teammates.
