Federico Hjorth Pellegrineschi '24 Recruiting Profile

My name is Federico Hjorth Pellegrineschi (nickname Fede). My goal is to become a professional soccer player; however, I am also focused on what is to come after: I like business administration and sport business management and plan on pursuing academic education revolving around that.

I began playing soccer at the age of four in Vaughan Soccer Club, and since I was thirteen, I have been playing on the OPDL team, winning the 2006 Boys OPDL League and the Gary Miller Charity Shield in most recent season 2021.

I am an attacking player who has the ability to play on both wings as well as an attacking midfielder. I am very comfortable on the ball, being able to play with both feet. I am very unpredictable when taking on defenders, usually adding skill and flavor. I am very agile and have great vision and reading of the game.

I have a positive attitude on and off the pitch. I am very coachable and welcome criticism as it makes me more determined to learn new skills to become a better player. Since the age of thirteen I have been regularly working out on my own at the gym.

I know the road to becoming a professional soccer player is difficult, but I am determined to make it happen. I hope to be able to play NCAA Division 1 soccer while I complete my academic education.
