Liam Martin '24 Recruiting Profile

In Soccer there are three words that have stuck with me and kept me going. Energy, Passion and Conviction. For me soccer has been my way of life, I have played since I was 8 and have played every position on the field at a point in the past 8 years. Whatever my coach told me to play I would play no question and no comments. Every time I get on the field, I try to perform to my best ability no matter the score and no matter the circumstance. In 7th grade I pulled my hamstring running track.  It was devastating, I went through Physical Therapy and was out of all sports for at least 2 months and it did not seem like a lot of time but the game moves so fast I had to put in triple the work to get back to where I was before. The year after I did the exact same thing in track but was only out for a month. These setbacks, now that I look at them really helped me a fueled me to get better as a person and as a player. When I play soccer, I think of myself as a leader on and off the field more on club then in scholastic soccer. I just ended my first varsity soccer season only seeing the field twice in the season, but I made the most of my playing time and gave 110% the entire time. I never play hesitant, and I am very accountable for my actions. When I am on the field I never think about myself, it is always about how the team is doing and how I can make the team better. Soccer has been a great sport in my life, and I hope to continue this way of life no matter what it looks like.
