Hatim Brahimi '17 Recruiting Profile

When I think "going to college",  I think "going to college, AND playing soccer". Playing soccer at a high level has always been a dream of mine. I love the sport, and I couldn't imagine it ending all ending after high school.

I am an excellent, and bright student when it comes to studies. I have a respectable GPA, and I take all Honors classes in order to push myself.  Another thing you should know about me is that I love volunteering and helping out my community. Throughout the last couple years I have constructed my own humanitarian project to provide aid in supplies for Syrian Refugees, as a part of a Teen Leadership project.  The project was one of the most successful since the establishment of the program. I also am a Franklin Food Elf, which means that I work with the town Food Pantry and collect food supplies for the less-fortunate families in my town. In addition this year I was the Head Organizer of a successful local Charity Tournament that works with Dana Farber Cancer Institute, The Random Smile Project, and a local Memorial College Scholarship Fund.

Soccer-wise, I am very gifted visionary player. I can very fast feet and sharp mind, and can dribble when I need to, but I tend to see myself as more of a play-maker. I would rather slot through the perfect pass for an assist, than score a great goal. My coaches think I have an excellent vision as well, and comment that I see things that the ordinary player simply doesn't catch. Due to my technical and visionary ability I believe that I am an excellent candidate for the collegiate game. I am very motivated and I am a player that brings extreme creativity and awareness. 

I am looking to study some sort of career in Business, presumably Marketing. I am very open to the type of school I go to, and will try to play at the highest level possible. Playing college soccer is a dream of mine, and something that I cannot see myself without.
