John Paine '23 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer when I was 10 years old and developed an addiction to it and being on the field. No matter where I am or who I’m practicing with I make sure to train five times harder then the person next to me.  I started playing competitive Soccer when I was in fifth grade and played center mid for two years. A couple years later I started playing goalie and knew it was my position and with my fitness and technicality from playing center mid made me one step ahead of the other goalkeepers.

The game has taught me self discipline and how to work hard to go what I want. It has made me a better person and has changed my life. What sets me apart from other players is how hard I work and no one is gonna out train me or out work me.

Currently I play goalie for Pinecrest Premier 2005-blue team as the captain of the team. For the 2018-2019 season my team managed to make the finals of Florida State Cup. For the 2019-2020 season my team went to the Bethesda Cup and won all three of our games but the season was cut short due to corona. 

I look forward to new opportunities and hope to extend my academics and compete at the highest level possible.
