Mario Floriano '21 Recruiting Profile

            I aspire to play in college as I will be the first in my family to have every played at the college level, and I believe I can add to the success of any team. I bring experience that ranges from club soccer to practicing with professional reserve teams in Peru. My ultimate goal is to play at the professional level. I had the chance to sit in Joe Hart's spot in the locker room at Manchester City Stadium and decided one day that will be my place to sit.

I bring the passion to succeed, and am not afraid to work hard to get there, in fact I look forward to practices. I am known as one of the most dedicated players on my soccer team, because despite Covid shut downs, I figured out a way to never stop practicing in some way, while my friends and some teammates sat around playing video games. Success in all areas, sports, school and being loyal to family is extremely important to me.

In college, I want to study Psychology, possibly Sports Psychology as this area is so important in helping athletes overcome mental barriers that can hurt their performance. I am also very interested in Forensic Psychology, as I have always liked the idea of being in law enforcement, but want to be on the side of investigation.
