Joshua Caplan '19 Recruiting Profile

My soccer career began playing at the recreational level around the age of 6. The next year I tried out for my town travel team, and made our C Team. I played at that level for 3 years, before being bumped to the B Team for 2 years, and eventually our top town team for 2 years. However, around the time of seventh grade, I began to get more serious about playing at the next level, and bean to play for the NJ Heat, which was eventually turned into my current team, Cedar Stars Bergen West.

Throughout this whole process, I have never lost the drive to get better, but I also haven't lost the thought of having fun while playing the game that I love. Whether it be on the practice field, classroom, or a big final, I give 110%. When I was young, I was known for being one of the skinnier kids, but I used that as motivation to make the technical and tactical parts of my game the best that anyone knew, and that still stays true to this day.  As I got older, I began to grow into the physical part of the game, but my drive to keep learning in all aspects of life has never faded.
