Jonathan Deridal '19 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer in my living room when I was 2 years old and living in Germany, where I joined a club when I was 4. Since then I’ve been building my skills in club, school and in my free time. At home I always have a ball at my foot (it drives my parents crazy, but they live with it). I’ve always kept up my grades and love applying my knowledge in other areas of my life and being active in my community. Which is why I decided to become president of the largest club at my high school, Carlmont Key Club. I enjoy making people laugh, leading groups, bringing a positive vibe to the field and beyond.

Soccer has taught me that success doesn't come without hard work, respecting others, lots of communication and setting clear intentions. My goal is to build on all those lessons playing on a very competitive college team where my soccer and personal skills will be challenged and sharpened.
