Griffin King '23 Recruiting Profile

I started playing travel soccer in grade school and have played in tournaments all over the North East.  In 8th grade, I switched to more competitive clubs and found my home at Quickstrike FC .  The training was so different and the level of commitment and focus made the game even that much more competitive.    I was always the fastest on the team but here I had competition and thrived on it.   We won our conference and many showcase tournaments in the last year.    I realized all the development and training in the early years might not have brought us top titles but as we got older when it mattered we delivered . My speed and soccer IQ makes me a unique player and asset to every team I have played on.    In 10th grade,  I made the varsity soccer team at my very competitive high school.    This year we won sections but due to Covid we were unable to continue on to the State title.  Along with varsity soccer,  I have been on the varsity diving team since 8th grade.  The level of focus, determination and pressure in this sport has also helped me to relax and be patient on the soccer field with my passes and field play.     I have a GPA of 3.7 and take honors courses.  It is not always easy to and juggle all my activities, school work and part time job but I'm hoping being able to work hard will prepare for my college.
