Jag Zaharia '22 Recruiting Profile

My name is Jag Zaharia, and I am a Canadian grade twelve student looking forward to obtaining a Business Degree while continuing to develop as a top soccer player.  Academically, I have been an honours student since grade seven; my current GPA in my high school courses equates to a 4.0.  I have also received several Character Awards in school.  Athletically, I have played soccer and hockey at the highest levels, and have been Captain and Assistant Captain several times over.  But I chose to pursue soccer as it is my passion.  I am currently playing soccer, away from home, at an invite only soccer academy in Victoria, B.C.  I am focussed and self-motivated.  I do not back down from challenges.  My hard work, as both a student and an athlete, sets me apart.  In recognition of my hard work, last year I was awarded a Student Athlete with Distinction Award (90+ average while playing sports)  at my High School.  I am very coachable, and I am a team player willing to do anything to help my team succeed.  I want to play NCAA soccer where I can benefit from more excellent coaching, and high calibre play, all while earning a degree.
