Jacob Elston '22 Recruiting Profile

Discipline is such an important tool to have in all aspects of life. Whether its on the field or in the classroom, maintaining a strong morale code and patience demonstrates true character in an individual. Starting soccer at the age of four has helped me to develop all of these traits early on, and I've been practicing them ever since. Throughout the past few years of my competitive soccer career I've seen a great amount of change. From moving states, clubs, teams, and age groups, I always strive to better myself no matter the circumstance. My ability to adapt to situations like these is what I believe to be one of my biggest strengths, no matter what environment I'm placed in I'll always find a way to work well with others and to become stronger individually. 

As a current Elite Academy player for Boulder County United I have experience competing against high national ranking teams, recently we played the team that won the national title and drew against the team that came second. After recovering from a broken foot at the beginning of my Freshman year I came back strong as a starting Varsity High school player. 

As for academics my first two years of high school I took every honors class that was avilable to me. Now, in my senior year I am taking a strong mix of AP and IB classes.
