Tucker Perkins '16 Recruiting Profile

My dream is sweet and simple. I desire to reach the highest level of soccer that I possibly can. Ever since I began to watch soccer, I remember seeing countless documentaries on Ronaldinho and Maradona and how anything can happen. Hard work, dedication, and the love of the game are enough to put you where you dream to be. I strive to impress not only my coaches, family, and friends, but myself as well. I take playing soccer extremely seriously, whether it would be for my club, high school, or just a pick up game. The dream of me walking out onto the pitch of the Etihad stadium in England never avoids me. I can see myself wearing the number 11 jersey with the Manchester City Crest on my shirt. My soccer career started when I used to play for my small town team called "Pal-Riv Fury". I realize that my dream would never become reality if I were to stay where I was comfortable. So I decided to branch out and join the more elite club team of "Cape Express" and now am playing at a much higher level, hopefully enough to reach to where I want to be. I work harder and longer than the players on my team because unlike them, I won't let the words of others tell me that something is impossible. Nothing is impossible.
