Justin Keller '21 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to gain a college education while in my soccer pursuit.   I plan to immerse myself into  playing soccer as I work toward my academic interests.  I plan to focus on the medical, nutrition, and sports related rehabilitation fields.  I also plan to play soccer and continue growing to the highest level.

I am an extremely hard-working athlete and academic student.  I have always been known to be the hardest worker during practices, games, and weight training,  practising three to four hours a day.  I pride myself in leading by example and helping others to do the same.  I take health seriously and am constantly working on injury prevention and nutrition.  I have always maintained high grades in school and achieved my Eagle Scout  rank in scouting as a senior.  I am also an applicant for the National Honor Society.  Throughout high school, I have received many compliments from my school instructors regarding my friendliness, attitude, and effort.  I plan to keep the same into my college education and soccer career.  

I've shown perseverance and desire to play the game.  Given the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and periodic suspension(s) of High School Soccer in my district this year, I tried out for, and was accepted on the Oklahoma Energy Boys 03 ECNL team.  This gave me superior coaching and training at a level that will better prepare me for college. 

I  enjoy spending  time working with other  players in the greater Kansas City area, including college and professionals of all nationalities in 5 a side pickup games at a downtown indoor soccer field “The Soccer Lot”.  I have enjoyed meeting people from all ages around the world and making friends there.  I’ve also travelled to Spain and England where I was offered  positions on two separate Professional Division II team academies.  I am serious about my future soccer career and obtaining education that will enable me to carry on afterwards.  I am ready for the next level!  I also work coaching  three youth recreation  soccer teams.
