Jacob Calle '18 Recruiting Profile

I hope my profile has caught your interest and suits you well. Soccer has been a huge part of my life and my families as well. I have played the game ever since I was 4 years old and ever since then, It has played a huge role in my life. My family runs a soccer buisness where we teach little kids from a young age the game of soccer, just like my father did with me. He has been my coach of my teams throughout my career and is someone I will not only see as a father, but a coach as well.

As you can see, game of soccer is my passion and represents who I am. Being named captain as a junior and starting all 3 years on a varsity team has been the highlight of my high school season. Coming from a small school surrounded by players not as familiar with the game as me, I have learned the value of commitment, teamwork, sacrifice and leadership. I've learner to focus more on my athletics and academics and put them first but also learn about who I am as a person and as a player. I have gone through several injuries over my career but have remained dedicated to getting better and becoming stronger so I can accomplish my ultimate goal of doing what I enjoy and love in my future, playing soccer. I have trained hard, mentally and physically to be a solid striker and have see that strengths as a player has always been my speed and my ability to find space on and off the ball to finally put the ball in the back of the net. I feel that I not only have the talent to compete at the college level but the character, work ethic and leadership skills to make an impact on your soccer program. As a dedicated soccer player and hard working captain, I know I have what it takes to a be a leader on your team!
