Kieran Barrientos '25 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was 3 years old. I grew up and played in Boca Raton, Florida, where my coach would always be yelling on the side, "Dribble, Dribble, Dribble." I started off at the SABR program before moving to the Team Boca Club Travel Team. I was not the best by far at that age. However, when I moved to Wisconsin in 5th Grade, I began to find my true passion in life, to play soccer!! 

When I moved here in 5th grade, I played two years up. I was playing Goalkeeper and I was very talented which is why I played up. I would always play 1 half in goal, and 1 half as a field player. However, when I moved down to the more talented team that was my age group, they already had a goalkeeper, meaning I had to always play wing. I began to love my position as a wing, and I still do today. I found my place on the field and I always find ways to make my game better. 

Of course, school is always first, and I am a student that stays on top of my grades. I never have late or missing assignments, and I am a very studious student-athlete. My goal of course is to make it to the next level, which for me is Division 1 collegiality and then the professional level. If it was possible, I would marry a soccer ball. This is how much I am in love with the sport. It is my life!!
