Joseph Melano '21 Recruiting Profile

My plan for college is become the best student athlete I can possibly be. I want to be able to go to college and play sports at the same time because I have been playing sports my entire life and I am not ready to give it up just yet. I want to continue my athletic career in college as well as my academic career. I have been playing soccer since I was 3 and I love the sport. I am a multi sport athlete but soccer is my favorite sport of them all. I hope and pray that I get the chance to play college soccer and coaches start to send me emails and letters giving me the opportunity to play for their college program. This past season I played center back for my high school team. My school plays in the marine league. That is what the conference is called between the local schools.  My school has never won the marine league in school history and this past season we were able to change that and win the marine league. That season I earned all first team marine league and all la city section division 2 team because my high school was in division 2.  We also had 2 division 1 teams in our league and we were able to beat both of them while being the underdog for so many years.  I was able to do all that while maintaining a 3.8 but since school closed I took the opportunity to push to get that 4.0 and I was able to complete that by getting a 4.0 this past semester. I wasn’t a captain on paper but during the game I was wearing the captain badge because I believe that I am a good leader and I am able to communicate with my teammates and my coach put his trust in me to be the coach on the field. If you read all of this I want to say thank you for taking the time out of your day to read it and I hope to hear from you soon.
