James Mitchell '16 Recruiting Profile

I am a senior at Great Falls High School. I’m 5’11” and 165 lbs., and doing my best to keep fit and stay healthy. I started my freshman year of high school on the varsity squad as a starter; my coach primarily played me as a center forward, but I’m a versatile player. I have played winger, center attacking midfielder, and center back. I feel my best position is center forward not because of my ability on the ball, but my ability off the ball. I am always ready for rebounds, tap-ins, and always in the right position at the right time. On the ball I have great awareness and link-up play. I have the skill to create more time for myself so I can get myself in a scoring position or give an assist to another player. I can play with my left and right foot, and also useful with my head. Playing soccer in college is a dream of mine, I will be a very committed player on and off the field.

Education is very important to me and have always applied myself the best I can in the classroom. I would like to go to a school that has a good college feel with a nursing program. I’m open to all colleges and all environments as long as the programs can benefit me and my future goals. My goals for my future are studying to become a nurse then moving up to a nurse anesthetist. I also am striving to be a fantastic leader and role model to the people around me.
