David Pagella '18 Recruiting Profile

Since I've found the sport, I've always known I wouldn't be satisfied ending my career after high school. In my life, most of what I do revolves around being successful and progressing in my academics and athletics. I try to always make sure my grades stay high and as a result forces me to be a diligent student. In regards to soccer, I can't remember a time where I haven't been training to improve my ability, team chemistry or my leadership on and off the field.

Holding a good GPA and being an overall hardworking student would let me fit right into college life, where I already have experience balancing school and soccer. I put pride into my schoolwork and in consequence had been accepted into my school's National Honors Society, where only students who have excelled in their academics are accepted.

Throughout my life I have dealt with gruesome practices back to back leaving me with very little time to finish school work or have much free time, but I still remained dedicated to the sport because of my passion and devotion to soccer. I have gone from school to practice to my next practice and am still in love with the sport, soccer has always been enough for me.

No matter what team I find myself playing for in college, I will be working every day so that my team can be successful together and reach whatever goals we set.
