Rone Yamasaki '26 Recruiting Profile

I would like to study Bioscience and play college soccer at the highest level possible.

I started my soccer journey at the Bronze level at 7 years old. I slowly moved up in the Norcal league levels as I continuously made an effort to practice outside of normal team practice. During the early days of the pandemic I attended online training 5 days a week.  Once normal play started up again, I set a goal to reach NPL level by the fall of 2021. Besides physical training to achieve this goal, I also began to watch Premier Leagues matches more intently and did tactical analysis training from my own game videos. 

My strengths are defending, passing, and intelligence on the field.  I can definitely beat someone 1v1 if necessary. On the field, I am a fierce competitor who gives 100% effort in every play and is committed to helping my teammates succeed.

Off the field, I am a dedicated student who takes my academic responsibilities seriously. I am confident that I can balance the demands of playing soccer with the rigors of academic life. Being a student-athlete is a tremendous privilege, and I am committed to maintaining the highest standards in both areas. 

I enjoy playing soccer from the excitement, competition, and when my team gets to win. Playing college soccer will create more opportunities and develop more skills for my future.
