Oscar Rivera '25 Recruiting Profile

 Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! To be a hard-working student inside the classroom, I always strive for the best and always try to connect with teachers and staff if help is needed. I always try to keep positive relationships with classmates and teachers. Respecting peers is my way of earning people's trust; it is one of my priorities when entering a class or program. I always strive to challenge myself in class and always work ahead of the class while also providing help to peers and other students in the same courses as me. When the bell rings, I stay focused on the task at hand instead of being distracted by other peers or friends; until that class ends, I always stay focused on the course.

My goal in college is to improve my overall soccer knowledge while focusing on my chosen profession. My goal on the field is to make sure that I can be reliable and a stepping stone for teammates and the team in general. While in the classroom, I want to challenge myself.

The Maryland State team was a new chapter in my soccer career, giving me a unique perspective and challenge as an athlete and providing me with High levels of competition all over the Eastern Region. In addition, the coaching and training offered during the ODP season helped me improve my tactical knowledge of the game. At the same time, the team gave me better confidence overall.

My Club Team, Real Elite FC, is located in Germantown, Maryland; as the team captain over the years, we had to move up the ranks and divisions to earn a spot in big tournaments and leagues like EDP South Atlantic conferences. I like the new challenge the higher levels are giving and helping me learn connections with teammates and even more leadership between my teammates.

As I am now Playing Semi-Pro with Germantown City FC, has given me experience with others that had played in both Spain and England and has given me experience on the field, but also helps me build toughness on the field as everyone I verse is in their late 20s or younger, providing me with high competition.

As I am currently recovering from an ACL reconstruction surgery which is a tough process but I am Recovering ahead of schedule and ahead of protocol, which shows that I am willing to follow instructions and learn from past experiences.
