Alvaro Gonzalez '24 Recruiting Profile

        My goal is to play for a competitive Division 1 program to further my athletic and academic development. I grew up playing at a very high club level with Javanon FC winning multiple State Championships, and now compete in the ECNL playing for Louisville City FC’s academy. I played for Louisville City Academy u16 and u17, playing against many competetive oppenents including ECNL and MLS Next academies. This summer I played for the Louisville City Academy League competing against other USL Championship u23 teams, and this upcoming season I will be playing for the u19 team.

        Both my parents were born in Argentina which has led me to always be around soccer growing up, this includes watching, following, playing, etc. My dad has surrounded me with soccer since as long as I can remember, and my both parents fully support my decision to pursue playing soccer in college. As a player, I am a team player who likes to use my technical ability to constantly drive at my opponent. My technical ability allows me to dribble at opponents and open space for myself or teammates, constantly creating opportunities for the team. I believe that my ability to retain the ball and my IQ as a soccer player are what separate me from other players my age who also compete at a high level.
