Omar Santiago '17 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was a little boy my dream was always to become a professional soccer player. Since the first time I stepped on the field I knew this is what I wanted to do. Since starting when I was 5 years old and playing rec soccer till I was 7 then starting travel soccer when I was seven and to this point I'm still playing. Changing teams over the years has helped me to excel my game and has made me a better player. With the help of my coaches and my parents to push me encourage me and to never give up have shaped me into the person I am on and outside of the field. Going into High school freshmen year I was excited to play first year of JV soccer playing at the High School level was intimidating even though my team didn't have the best season I was awarded MVP from my coach and my team mates. The following year I was asked to try out for the varsity team making the team as a sophomore and starting as well was a huge accomplishment for me. Having another two years in High School I would hope to improve my game get a couple more awards being captain. Most of all going to college studying in the major of Physical Therapy and playing college soccer.
