Elias Bouzamondo '24 Recruiting Profile

Hey coaches!

I'm a French athlete who lived most of his life in Paris and came over to the US seven years ago for my father's job. I am very interested in the field of economics / finance for college and would like to pursue a soccer career if I can because that what I truly love doing. I have been playing soccer since my childhood. I started at 4 in Paris and realized quickly that I was left footed and a skilled player which helped surprise opponents and shoot from various angles. My main position would be CM but I have no problem with playing CDM, RW or even LW.

I am a very hard working athlete and do not mind waking up at six in the morning to go on a run or practice drills before school. I always strive to be the best player I can and not only do it for myself but also my family who always believes in me. Furthermore, I have played varsity soccer for high school since Freshman and club soccer with Chicago City. On the academic side of things, I am studious and have been getting A+ in all my classes since Freshman year. I  

I believe having lived in Paris and Chicago has helped me develop a double culture and I have learned to get the best from both. I am still hesitating on going to college in Europe or North America but I believe getting an opportunity to play soccer in college would definitely favor the United States.
