Brandon Valentin '16 Recruiting Profile

Ever seen someone that would do anything to play soccer?  I mean like always wants to play?  I'm that someone.  I'm half Mexican, half American.  I've literally been playing soccer since I was an infant, my first steps were on a soccer field.  I've always wanted to play soccer by myself or if I was lucky, with anyone that was willing to play with me.  If I couldn't play soccer inside, then I would love just as equally to watch soccer.  I like to watch the likes of Neymar, Ronaldo, Pogba, and Ronaldinho.  I watch and learn how they all play the game for my own benefit.  Anytime, anywhere i usually have a soccer ball and am dribbling everywhere I go.  Every touch counts  I would love to go on as a professional soccer player for my career and knowing that this is, and would be an amazing feet, I'm willing to put forth the effort necessary.  When it comes to playing on the field, I'm not worried about getting calls, or if the refs area bad or anything.  I would much rather keep my calm and focus on the game.  Most people choose to get mad or try to pin the blame on someone else when they get scored upon or lose.  This doesn't help, as everyone should know.  But that's what makes me different from everyone else.  I can keep my cool when everyone else isn't.  I may not be the straight A student-athlete most coaches wish for, but I do absolutely try my best to keep my grades passing.  Bad grades=no soccer.  So I keep my grades up.  Trust me.
