My name is Eli Mizrahi. I am currently a Sophomore at Academy of American Studies in New York City. I currently play for Queens United SC and my high school varsity soccer team. I grew up playing soccer all of my life, starting at the age of 2. I have always struggled with my size as people have made fun of me for it and trash talked me. However, I don’t let this get to me and I continue to work hard and persevere. I have a lot of passion for the beautiful game. I am a very hard worker and I have a 4.0 GPA. I feel that one benefit I have that most student athletes don’t is that I hold up the “student” half of “student athlete”. I care about school and my grades. I feel that I have potential to play soccer in college and possibly even go further because of my hard working personality, dedication and love for the game.
