Jonah Rosenberg '19 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has been a huge passion of mine since my early years.  I started playing in my local recreational league in Arizona at age 5 and have played on various other teams in Boston and DC.  My love for the sport has led to my summer job at Sidwell Friends School as a soccer counselor.  My size can be a disadvantage at times, but through putting in hard work off the pitch, I am now easily able use my pace and acceleration to get away from big defenders.  I play for the Bethesda Soccer Club U-17's and have started for my high school, the Edmund Burke School, since freshman year.  I originally played as fullback but my coaches realized that my skills would be better utilized if I played as a striker/winger as I am very quick and fast and can easily create space for myself to pop off a shot or find a pass.  I work very hard on the pitch, but I also carry that work ethic off of it.  I currently have a 3.56 cumulative average on a 4 point scale.  This year, I currently have a 3.87 weighted GPA and am taking 2 AP courses.  Science and Math are my favorite subjects and I am particularly interested in chemistry.  Soccer is very important to me, but I always make sure to spend time with my friends and have a great time too.
