Yuma Yamamoto '19 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was four years old and it has been a way of life for me. I sometimes questioned myself about what I want my life to revolve around and soccer has been the answer to that question since I started playing. The most memorable experience I had through the sport was when my club team and I went to the National President's Cup in 2016. Although we wanted to compete in the State Cup and we were knocked out of the competition early, my team and I picked up our heads and decided to find success in a new challenge.

Through that experience, I learned to gain the competitive edge, be mentally strong, and maintain a work-ethic that I now incorporate in my daily life as an athlete, a student, and a person. I have had loads of other experiences through the sport of soccer that has made me the person that I am, and I hope it continues to be that way. I am searching for a college program that fits both my athletic goals as well as my academic goals. I know my work-ethic, mental grit, and passion for soccer as well as talent will have a massive impact on your soccer program.
