Josue Daly '23 Recruiting Profile

I was born in Guatemala.  I started playing soccer when I was four years old and really became interested when I was 7.  It keeps me fit and is a big part of my Guatemalan culture.  My speed takes me far on the field and I am very versatile.  Soccer has taught me patience.  You lose some you win some; everything doesn’t always go your way.  I have also made many friendships through soccer. My goal is to just keep growing and doing as much with the sport as possible. 

I have ADHD which means it’s hard for me to focus but in soccer, I can stay super focused.  Soccer takes me away from reality for 90mins.  I enjoy the competitiveness of soccer and I am always happy when I’m on the field.  I used to think of ADHD as a “disease” but I have learned that it’s just that I learn differently and I can use my ADHD to my benefit because I can stay focused for long periods of time on certain topics.  I’ve also learned how to overcome things like the fear of meeting new people and teammates.
