Leo Akashi '23 Recruiting Profile

I moved to the US from Japan 1 and half years ago. I had played soccer in Japan since I was 2 years old. I was in a youth team of a professional soccer club (Kyoto Sanga FC). After moving here, I joined school soccer (Fremd High School) and also a club (Chicago Fire Junior North Shore) in freshman year. For school soccer, I played on Varsity as a freshman. Now I’m doing only school soccer because I need to study English. I’m just learning English now but I’m getting better grades in all my classes.

My primary position is forward. I scored 20 goals (Varsity: 4 goals, Freshmen A: 16 goals) in freshman year. My secondary position is outside midfielder or right-back. Because I used to play right-back in Japan. My strong point is playing smart. I have watched European Soccer many times since I was a child, so I have a lot of ideas to get a goal or defense. Another strong point is playing accurately. Passing and shooting are more accurate than the other players. This is my pretty confident point.

My graduation year is in 2022, not 2023 even though I’m at sophomore now.
Here is for your information.

For your information, I would like to inform you about my graduation year.
I’m currently at my sophomore year in my high school now,  and supposed to graduate in year 2023. However,  my plan is to graduate in 2022, as I will probably be able to stay here in Chicago for 3 years with my current visa due to my father’s job. So, since from the beginning of my freshman year, this has been agreed with my high school, and they arranged all credit plans to be able to graduate in 3 years only, instead of 4 years. I will be able to take all necessary credits to enter collages and universities in the USA by the end of year 2022. (May, 2022)

I can’t explain myself in English well, but I’m so interested in playing soccer in American College. I am confident to be active in your college. Thank you for reading !
