Izaid Garcia '24 Recruiting Profile

I found my passion for soccer when I was 6 years old through a TV screen. Watching a ball being kicked around the screen, my eyes were completely glued to the screen. From the first time I stepped onto the field I was determined to make soccer my future. Since that day, my dream to play college soccer has grown throughout the years, and I became aware of the effort, determination, and discipline that is needed to succeed. I plan to fully dedicate myself in order to reach my goal. 

I consider myself to have great technique and positioning in the field. Along with that, I am a leader and always try to set an example for my teammates, both on and off the field. I always look to offer motivation and be constructive on the field as well. Ever since I was a kid I have always been told that my strong suit is my hard work and dedication, and my desire to always improve which makes me a coachable player. I am also very capable of listening and performing what I am told to both as a student and an athlete. 

In the classroom I study hard to maintain a 3.5 GPA, and I am also part of many clubs along with playing for my high school soccer and my ECNL team. My intention is to attend a college in which I can challenge myself both academically and athletically. I am open to all options and want to find the college that is best fit for me. Being said, my desire is to play at the highest level possible being NCAA Division I, as well as positively impacting myself and the college I choose. Mainly, I aspire to become a successful student and athlete, making those around me proud. Ultimately, focusing on developing my career in order to become a professional soccer player.
