Carlos Melendez '18 Recruiting Profile

to all the coaches,

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile.  I am a goalkeeper and play at the highest competitive level in youth soccer.  I have made the Orlando City Pro Academy team for the last three years as I have been identified as a player with potential towards playing soccer professionally.  I am given the opportunity by invitation to fill in during training scrimmages alongside the MLS team for Orlando City.  I am very thankful for the invaluable experience I receive alongside my MLS team.  My journey in soccer began in the 4th grade.  I am not only naturally athletic, but I am also very disciplined with my training and development physically, technically, tactically and mentally.    Orlando City invites players who have very high technical skills and high intelligence.  Through out my high school academic career I have been in the honor role, with mainly taking advanced placement and honor classes.  My goals are not only to succeed as an athlete but also academically.
