Jarod Croteau '17 Recruiting Profile

My main goal is to get a scholarship for college and become a professional athlete. For my fall back plans, I would like to become a soccer trainer, or a scout/recruiter; but my main choice would be to play professionally. I am a dominate left foot player but I am not limited to only using my left, I do well with my right. I am a team player and I always try to help my friends/teammates succeed. I'm not selfish, or big on celebrations when I score. I'm told by my trainer that I should celebrate more when I score, but I feel that celebrations aren't important to me, just playing well as a team is what matters. I pass to people who have the best opportunity to score; but if I have the best shot, I take it. I do what best benefits the team, not myself.

My grades are usually in the 80's to low 90's. I am not the best at math or my foreign language, but I am working hard to maintain a good grade. I am not in any additional clubs in school because I want to stay focused on soccer. I also have an individual trainer to help me work on my right foot and learn new technical skills to use in the game.

In an effort to be involved more with the sport, I referee younger age groups and also help to coach/train others that have the the same interests in the game as I do.
