Jason Ferrandino '22 Recruiting Profile

My name is Jason Ferrandino, and I am committed to playing soccer at a high level. I would like to find a college team that fits me well and one that I can make an impact on. I have been playing soccer all of my life, and I have a true love for the game like no other. 

Passion- What challenges, drives, and interests me about soccer is it allows me a place where I can really enjoy myself every day no matter what. I am able to push myself mentallly and physically while setting goals as I improve myself and strive for success. I also am able to compete with others and develop great connections with them. Most importantly, I can make my friends, family, school, and club proud of me when I perform and show people who I am.

Skills- What I have learned that makes me a good player is technical skills including overall ball control, passing, receiving, and turn moves. Also, I have learned how to better position myself on the field to get more out of myself while playing, and I have increased my overall long distance fitness levels so I never tire and can work hard throughout an entire game.

Talents- What I am naturally good at and what feels natural while I play soccer is communicating to my teammates and working with others as much as possible on the field to break teams down. Also I see the game well while playing and am able to find killer passes at important moments, while also covering lots of ground and competing for every ball possible. 

Values- What I believe in while playing is being more prepared and committed than anybody else to succeed. I believe in working extra hard and doing everything possible to reach my goals. I want to be the confident player that people can depend on and the player that can make a difference on the field. I make sure to take nothing for granted and try to make the most of every opportunity while giving it my all at all times.

Improvements- What I want to get better at is shooting and finishing in front of goal so that I can help contribute to more goals for my team, as well as my running so that I can outwork my opponents even more. I also want to improve my awareness and composure on the field so that I can figure things out a lot more while still being calm and ready for anything to happen.
