Riley Yuasa '20 Recruiting Profile

    I have never had a problem keeping up with my academics.  I have always been a hard, diligent worker, working on maintaining a 3.97 GPA and improving on my game.  I have a passion for playing all kinds of sports.  Ever since I was a little boy, I dominated as a 3 sport athlete, playing soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring.  But as I grew up, I knew I would have to make sacrifices if I wanted to continue playing sports after high school.  I chose soccer because I love the game and has shaped me into the person I am today.  Besides playing soccer, I also referee.  Refereeing has given me an advantage for when I play because I can relate to how officials feel when they referee my games and use my knowledge of the game to strategize a way for my team to win.

    In college, my goal is to study hard to get a bachelor’s degree in pre-med or hard science degree and go off to medical school to become a sports medicine physical therapist.  Because of my love for sports, I believe helping players recover from injuries would be a perfect career path for me.
