Nicholas (Nico) Gristina '27 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was born, I’ve always had a ball at my feet. It has been a dream of mine my whole life to play college soccer. I work very hard to pursue this dream, and I will make it happen. It’s also important for me to attend a college with great academics. 

I have worked hard to become a very skilled, athletic, and versatile player who also excels academically. I take education very seriously and because of that, I have one of the highest GPA’s in my grade.

Both of my parents are coaches, so they have taught me much about the beautiful game ever since I was born. This results in me being a student of the game with a high soccer IQ. Some of my best attributes as a player are my speed, my great vision, my versatility to play anywhere on the field, my dribbling skills, and a clean strike.

I realize that for me to continue to develop and improve I have to still work very hard every single day to become the best player I can become.
