Mike Martinez '19 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has been a sport that I've loved since I was 5 years old. When I was younger, I would love to go out on the streets and just kick around with my friends. Soccer has made a huge impact on my life. Without this sport, I probably wouldn't be who I am today. It has turned me into a determined person in and out of school. I never want to miss a practice and definitely not a game. Since I first learned about the sport, my dream was to become a professional soccer player, and that still is my dream to this day. Like other players, I am someone who is determined and would do anything possible to achieve my goal. I think what makes me stand out is my passion for the game, and my passion to help the team improve so that we are able to move forward and succeed.  This sport has made realize the importance of communication and teamwork, and I'm always thrilled to step on a pitch and do what I love most.
