Luis Diaz-Pines '16 Recruiting Profile

I am from Spain and in my country I have been playing soccer since I was six years old in the most important team (for example in Real Madrid Fundación, Real Federación Española de Fútbol). Since I first stepped on the field, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level and if it could be posibble at professional level. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life.

I have played competitive soccer since the age of 6. Having been at IMG Academy now for 2 years has allowed me to train on a daily basis and improve my game significantly. I have been named the Team Captain as well as voted the MVP by the coaching staff at IMG Academy and my last team in Spain.

I have excellent ball handling skills and strong legs. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates (always I have been the team´s captain). I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest working players and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.

In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a high GPA who is extremely focused both on and off the field.. 

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the field. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
