Dan Jose Jinoy '20 Recruiting Profile

Tell coaches about your collegiate goals and aspirations.--

Soccer played a massive role in my life, not only had I found a passion for it during the early years of my childhood but I had learned a lot from it. Although I have an undying passion for the sport, I also realize the importance of building a career for myself and therefore chose to play competitively while at the same time balancing school work and my other extra-curriculars like MUN. I took control of my high school soccer team, organising practice sessions and friendly matches to improve the quality of our game because sports was not a focal point in the curriculum I studied in. I am interested in continuing my passion through my undergraduate career.

What makes you a good candidate for their team?--

I try to find my faults in my game, and I work towards improving myself in that regard. I see myself as a hard worker, pushing through the hours necessary to benefit my game and for the team. I am a versatile player and I am able to play at either wing or as a sole striker which would benefit the team when changing tactics or formations.

What makes you different from other recruits in character, athletics and academics?--

I take my academics seriously, and I try to be at the top of my class while at the same time presenting myself as a person open to new ideas and meeting new people. I play with the attitude of risking life and limb on the pitch without giving up till the last whistle.
