Benjamin Fish '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ben Fish.  I'm a 2020 graduate from Wisconsin Dells High School.   I play the Goalkeeper position, and I pride myself on being a strong defensive leader for my teams.  I believe I have the passion and determination to do the extra work necessary to play in college.  I have played for FC WISCONSIN - ECNL.  My team switched from NPL to ECNL this year.  I also played a year for Rush Wisconsin and have Academy experience.

I work very hard outside of my team soccer training with individual Goalkeeper training and strength training to prepare for the future.  I participate in weight training nearly every day through my school and have a trainer through the summer.  I have always been a hard worker in every sport I do – on and off the field.  When I was at Shattuck-St. Mary's, I would go from practice straight to the weight room every day.  Some days I would work on agility, others I would lift.  Shattuck taught me so much, especially that everything good comes with work.  I will always put forth max effort.

While I know club soccer and academy soccer are more important for playing in college, I was also proud to be the starting GK all four years of high school.  I was excited to receive 1st team All-Conference Honors and especially to be selected as Team Captain all four years.  I also play competitive hockey and have participated in Baseball and Track.

In addition to soccer, my academics are also important to me.  I currently have a 3.0 GPA and am working very hard to improve on that.  I know balancing schoolwork and soccer is important.  I am also a Member of Student Council in high school and I’m involved in the youth group at church.   I got confirmed as a sophomore.  I am also a member of school choir.

I believe my diverse background and opportunity to play at different levels in different associations makes me a great candidate for any team.  I have learned to work with new teammates and still be successful.
