Faith Manzanares '26 Recruiting Profile

Thank you for reviewing my NCSA profile. I'm happy to report that I've had a terrific start to my 2024 season, scoring two hat-tricks and providing 4 assist in my first 3 high school games! Our team has played really well, and I'm delighted that all the hard work was showcased on the field. 

I started playing soccer about four years ago. Since I started playing relatively late, I have been working hard to develop my technical abilities and soccer IQ. I'm proud to say that in a very short period, I was selected for the Maryland OPD state pool  and starter for the ODP Maryland Team at the Regional tournament in 2023. I've been a starter on my high school varsity team and a starter on my club team, which is in an older age group. I've had a lot of help from my parents and coaches. Without their support, I would not have developed this quickly.

I am an attacking mindset player who likes to play with other great, technically gifted players. I enjoy playing a tiki-taka possession-style game. Some of my favorite players are Neymar, Ronaldinho, Dybala, and Sakina Karchaoui (from PSG). 

I'm interested in a college or university that is competitive academically and has a strong soccer program. The majors I'm interested in are nursing, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or attending medical school.  During my college years, I want to travel, play competitive soccer, and enjoy a fantastic college experience. I appreciate your consideration.
