Giovanny Hernandez '21 Recruiting Profile

I'm currently a rising Sophomore at Northeastern Illinois University studying Computer Science. I'm currently an intern at Microsoft at a Software Engineer and Program Manager. I'm currently considering switching universities due to my university not having a soccer team. I'm a consistent person, I have the ability to  manage my academics and the sport I love at the same time. I've been playing soccer since a very young age. However, I took a break of sports on early 2016-2017 due to my mental state, But, I then got back into my routine and started being consistent again. I'm a forward, and been a forward for all my life; it’s been my first position ever assign to me. I can play whichever position in terms of being a forward: left-wing preferred.

I started playing at a very young age, my father was part of many league teams, and he was a forward also which he then passed that position to me. Unfortunately, I didn't play for my school, but I played outside of school such as leagues. But, even if I didn't play for my school I still recognize the significant amount of ability that I have to become a great player. I'm very fast on what I do as a player whether is mentally or physically, I'm a player that can manage to play under pressure. I have the speed, the dribbling, the passing, shooting, and self-awareness abilities which can be very dangerous to opponents and many of my goals were scored by my speed runs and outside the box shooting.

I played with teens and adults at such an early age which is why I feel like it was one of the many reasons why I improve so fast throughout my life. To this date, I'm playing in many leagues in Chicago, IL with older people to continue develop and gain experience. Nevertheless, I'm not the best player, but I'll say I’m different from many players, I can lead and take action, and along with my well-being and state of mind. I’m very consistent with soccer, and I take the sport very seriously. I wanna advance not only my academics, but also my soccer career. I'm a player that is willing to give it all to the sport.
