Denilson Chavez '23 Recruiting Profile

.

Hello, I'm Denilson Chavez, I prefer to be called by my middle name Ronaldo. I am currently playing for two night leagues in LA. I mainly play with the number 8 jersey, playing as a central midfielder as an attacker and defender DIV 2 Monday and Saturday. I play in a friendly night league as a left forward or center half Van Nuys Wednesday. I play in a league in the afternoon and play jersey stopper 16 DIV 3 Saturdays in Van nuys. I play and practice for the LASC Soccer Club second DIV2 team Tuesday and Sunday.

I graduated in June 2023, from Belmont High School. I started playing in 2021 as a midfielder on the JV minor team, after that I practiced enough to be able to be physically and mentally fit again, by 2022-23 I joined the Varsity team and played as Left and Right Midfielder Jersey 8 But mainly as a central midfielder.

Personally, something that differentiates me from people is my character and my mentality in never getting stuck in problems and staying in the same place, but on the contrary, learning from my mistakes and correcting them until they become less obvious.

Personally, I differentiate myself from people because of my aspirations and my goals. When I talk about this I'm not just talking about a simple sport, a distraction or hobby. But for me it is a way of life, it is something in which I can always trust, enjoy and always learn something new on and off the court. Soccer brings me happiness back and fills a certain void inside me. My mentality is a bit complicated because when I do something wrong I don't sit back if I don't always try to solve the problem at all costs. Every time I have time I train on my own by paying for online training classes. I take advantage of the little time I have since I am a full-time student and work at the same time. But that doesn't mean I can't do it, but rather it motivates me to give my best effort in every practice and training. I train with weights, including calisthenics in the gym to improve my agility and not lose focus. Whenever I can I try to study the players in my position to adapt or improve in every possible aspect.
