Angel Diaz '17 Recruiting Profile

     My academic goals for high school is to keep my GPA at 3.0 or higher.  Also to Graduate and walk across the stage with the rest of the class of 2017.  My academic goal for college is to study and major in business, so once I am done with college I can start to plan a business of my own.  My personal goal is to improve more in soccer, and be able to go play soccer at a college level, while I study in business. 

           An obstacle I had to face is having a seizure in 2013. I just started playing competitive soccer with my club team, and the doctor said I couldn't header the ball for a few weeks.  Just to make sure it couldn't cause a concussion and cause another seizure. I took medication for about 2 1/2 years and now since 2015 I was taken off medication and seizure free.  Now I am back to normal and can header as many balls coming my way.

           I take soccer serious, I hate the feeling of losing.  When I know I am lacking in a certain area, I do whatever I can do to get better at it.  When it comes to my performance during games, I play smart and simple.  I look for openings for through passes, I open up space, I chase the ball after losing it.
