William Ndumbe '16 Recruiting Profile

Since I was a young kid, my parents tried hard to make me a well-rounded kid by putting me in multiple sports and activities. As I've grown up, I've dwindled down the amount of sports I play to just soccer and track, but still try to stay as well-rounded as possible. On top of my studies, I play soccer for Century High School and club for Euro, I run track for the high school in the spring, I ref and coach soccer in the summer, and I am also a Boy Scout. I think this diversity in activities on top of my studies prepares me extremely well by teaching me how to use my time wisely before I face the problem of juggling hours of homework and soccer each night in college.  I think I would make a great candidate for a college soccer team because of both soccer skill and my love for the sport. I have a good touch, I love to take the ball inside or take the line, I play fast, run fast, and attack hard. From my experience of being a captain for my high school team, I've learned how to bring camaraderie to a team, lead on and off the field, and how to stay serious while being a supportive teammate. My first and foremost collegiate goal is to get a great education in the field of Pharmacy, but soccer has always been my number one passion so I've always known that I would play at a collegiate level. Since middle school, the Rochester Public Schools offered me high intensity health, math, and science programs that pinpointed my interest in Health Care to that of Pharmacy. I would love to find a school with a great science program that can set me up well for my future, while creating great memories on the soccer field with a collegiate team.
