Shayne O'Neill ‘19 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

My goals are to go to college to play soccer and work on a degree in Technology Education Teaching, Physical Education Teaching,  or Sports Management.   I am a good candidate for a team because I am well rounded, good at all sports, a hard worker, and keep my grades up.  I am different from others because most kids my age do not want to work or care about making money or keeping their grades up and I do.  I know the soccer field by heart,  I can anticipate the plays before they happen.  My strategy is to not be predictable.  I started playing Varsity soccer for my school as a Freshman and was in the top 10 for Boys Soccer Scoring Leaders for Section IV in goals, assists, and points.  I have played on a travel soccer team for about 10 years now.  I score 1 or 2 goals a game most of the time but I don't just score I like to assist just as much.  I am a captain because I am very supportive of my players and making them feel better about themselves by telling them good job when they do something good and try to help them learn new skills.
