Julian Imperiale '21 Recruiting Profile

I am a junior at Sequoia High School in Redwood City. I am an IB student, (please see my current classes below), and I continue to work hard to prepare for college despite distance learning. I look forward to continuing my studies in college and I very much hope to continue to play soccer in college as well.

I have been part of a  club soccer team for many years. In the past two years I have been playing with San Carlos United, Stealth Blue which currently plays in the Norcal Premier League and has a 6-1-1 record as of last season. I also play varsity high school soccer at Sequoia High in Redwood City, California. The Sequoia varsity soccer team has a record of 12-9-1 as of the past season and made it to the CCS division III semi finals. Last year, I was nominated MVP for the JV team. 

I’ve always been passionate about the beautiful game of soccer and very much look forward to continuing playing in college. I really enjoy being part of a team and working together to achieve a common goal, even if it means to work and train hard. I play defense, center back or outside back. One of my strengths is in anticipating the way a play goes and I am therefore usually well positioned. I am also capable of very precise passing and my coaches tell me that I am reading the game well and playing smart. My favorite play is taking the ball up the field on the side to pass to my forwards. This summer, I plan to work more on my endurance and my physical strength. I hope you will have the opportunity to watch me play this summer, or whenever the season resumes. Please let me know what ID camps you will attend and I will try my best to be there. I believe I have the ability to be a part of your team, and contribute to its future success. 

This is how my club coach describes me as a player: 

• A versatile player with high sprint speed and very high fitness levels

• Technically comfortable receiving under pressure and able to distribute well from back to front

• Desire and dedication to learn and to perform

• Tactically very aware of spacial awareness on the ball and team shape off the ball

• Experimental with the ball always looking for new ways to build up and generate the attack
