Samuel Martinez '24 Recruiting Profile

My name is Samuel Martinez I’ve been playing soccer for 11 years and I graduate in 2024. My main position is Left Center Back, My playstyle is more of a left or middle center back, so I am utilized in the defense whether it is splitting line passes, winning aerial battles, or shots on goal with headers, however, I am great at being able to push up and attack as a Target Striker if needed, and I have great situational awareness and know when the appropriate time to attack or sit back and defend is. I am able to use my speed and strength to hold up the ball and wait for attacking options to attack opposing players, and I enjoy a more physical style of play. Defensively I’m Great when it comes to aerial battles and like to bring a calmness playing from the back with my left foot, my 1v1 abilities are also one of my strong points but can always improve. I love to motivate my teammates to keep working hard, I am always analyzing the game and communicating what we can do to improve as a team or win a game if I can bring people up with me so we can improve I’ll love to do so all I care about is keeping consistency and winning as a team, I am always keeping my team's head's up during a loss or after a mistake, and I see myself as a great leader on and off the pitch.
