Ahmed-Belig Ishtiaq '26 Recruiting Profile

I am an athlete, a soccer player specifically. This is how I see myself now and in the future, playing soccer, professionally. Academics play an important part in my life at this point, and balancing my passion for playing soccer and the need to excel academically is not easy, however I am working on it. In discussions with my coaches, both at school and in my extracurricular youth teams, I have received very positive feedback about myself as a player overall, but specifically my technical, dribbling, passing and finishing abilities. I have been credited as being a playmaker and a goalscorer on the field, and credit is given to my technical, passing, dribbling, physical, finishing abilities as well as my composure at times of heightened anxiety as well as clarity of thought at times when it's most needed during a game and with my team. I work hard on developing further each day through fitness and training, but as my physique develops, I aim to build more physical strength and continue developing.
