Juan Otero '27 Recruiting Profile

My name is Juan Otero. I was born in Colombia and consider myself as a well-rounded player capable of playing most positions on the pitch, but I center myself as a CMF. 

At the age of 15, I made one of the most difficult decisions of my life leaving my family in UAE to start pursuing my dream of becoming a professional football player. I moved to Barcelona to join the professional residence program at the Marcet Football Academy. Currently, I am playing as a starter in one of their most competitive teams (Cadete A U-16) gaining a lot exposure competing in the Catalonian federative league and a lot of tournaments against other European teams. 

One of my goals is to be able to compete at the collegiate level while excelling academically and achieve my dream of becoming a professional football player. I bring a strong work ethic, discipline, and passion for continuous improvement, both in my sport and classroom.

What sets me apart is my ability to balance high-level athletics with academic success, as well as always being a person that puts the team over everything. I also pride myself on my leadership and teamwork skills, always pushing myself and my teammates to be better.
