Ricardo Exposito ‘22 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Hey Coaches,

My name is Ricardo Exposito. My goal is to attend college in the US and continue playing the sport I love. Soccer/football has been in my life ever since my earliest memory, and it has been one of the few constant things in my life, apart from my family. I have moved countries 3 times, which is something I believe has shaped me into the person I am today. It has helped me become more open minded, determined, and optimistic about life and new experiences and I am certain that it will continue to help me as I take the next steps in my life as a person.

Currently, I play for Barca Academy Peru. We are in the second tier of the national youth competition and are striving to ascend to the first. In this team I play right back, nonetheless, over the years I have played in different positions on the field and have managed to adapt to each one, with hard work and determination. However, I think it is important to be honest and say that I feel I play my best when positioned at the wings either defensively or offensively.

I take my fitness and health seriously. Apart from practicing soccer, I work with my coach on resistance and endurance exercises to allow me to give my best in the field. In addition, one main important thing to me is to have a balanced healthy diet, so I always try to find the best meals so that I can enjoy the food whilst also gaining healthy nutrients for my body, thus building my overall physique. 

I go to school in Markham College Peru where I take the IB. I am a senior in the class of 2022 and I chose the following courses: 

1. 
   Higher Level (HL) 
   1. Geography, Economics, and Physics 
   
   


2. 
   Standard Level (SL) 
   1. Spanish literature, Math AA, and English lang lit.
   
   

I am planning on studying engineering, specifically electrical engineering or computer science engineering, as everything involving electronics have always engaged me. Therefore, I plan on expanding my knowledge and satisfying my curiosity in a university where I can excel academically, athletically and personally .
