Sidney Brucato '20 Recruiting Profile

I have learned a lot about myself from four years of being on the same team and my experience making it. I learned that I play my best when I have a specific goal to achieve or have something to prove. I have also come to view team trust and cooperation as the most important elements for success. At tournaments my team and I push ourselves to compete to the best of our abilities and play our best soccer. As a veteran now on my team I have grown into a leader. I provide a great example for my teammates to follow and I try my hardest to lead through my actions as well as words. During training sessions I am very focused on using the time to learn and improve. My main goal for each game is to help the team succeed. As an outside back I use my speed to get involved offensively in the attack by distributing crosses/through balls and taking shots, while also effectively performing my duties as a defender.

Academically I also like to constantly challenge myself and I see myself studying science in the future. I am taking advantage of the rigorous courses offered at my high school and also use them to explore my interests. So far I have taken classes such as Honors Chemistry, AP Physics, and AP European History. Next year, I am looking forward to taking an online class in business, on top of my normal in-school workload, which will include AP Chemistry and Honors Anatomy. I plan to take AP Environmental Science my senior year, and I hope to someday have a career where I can help others from outside the office.
