Aidan Viola '23 Recruiting Profile

I’ve always loved soccer and have been getting touches on the ball ever since I could walk. I started playing club when I was 8 years old with the Michigan Wolves. It was a year of ups and downs that ended with me being cut from the first team to the second team for the following year. Feeling that sting early on stuck with me and provided me with an inner drive. I eventually switched clubs to the Michigan Jaguars, where I found myself playing midfield and loving it. I have a true passion for the midfield, particularly the 6 position. Last year, for high school we went undefeated and went on to win our conference, but unfortunately shortly after that COVID hit and shortened my club season. Luckily, this year we were able to play a normal high school season in the Fall and while it was much different than the previous, it was still great to be able play again. At the end of the season team banquet I was given the Coach’s Award for all of the effort, hard work, and leadership I brought to the team and now as we move closer to the Spring club season I hope we can resume playing.
