ADAM CHANI '18 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer from the age of ten. About three years ago I have taken soccer to a entire new level. I have a passion for this sport and I want to be successful in it. For the past three years I have been training on my own, with high school and club. It has taken over my life now. I train about fifteen hours a week with club, high school and my own training. In my own training sessions I train about two hours. What I do is I make 15 stations scattered around the field. There are different types of drills that I do like dribbling, passing, shooting, juggling and more.

Over the summer of 2015 and 2016, I participated in the Gothia Cup in Sweden with a Moroccan team. Every summer I try to go to some kind of soccer event weather in Europe or the U.S. to become a better player. The Gothia Cup was a great experience for me. Although I may have played about half of a match per game, I still learned a lot and gained experience. This summer (2017) I plan to join the FC Barcelona training camp in Spain for 2 weeks. I will learn as much as I can and most importantly become a better player. My parents sacrifice a lot for me and give me the most support possible to this sport. My ultimate dream is to get a professional contract to a professional team and I feel that taking the college path with a scholarship will give me a greater chance to reaching my goal.

All in all, I have a tremendous passion for this sport and my goal is to get a scholarship to a university. With the discipline, passion, and commitment I have towards soccer, I believe that I will be at the collegiate level for this sport.

Although I spent many hours working on my game throughout the week, I also spend time working in the classroom keeping an average score of a 3.2 unweighted GPA. I am a very adaptable person as I have lived in Morocco and Colombia in the past. With these experiences I now speak 4 languages: English (first), Spanish, Arabic and French.
