Edward Nika '16 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer from a very young age, but haven't played in a team until starting high school. I learned very quickly to be a team player, but know when to take control of the game.  One of my goals is playing soccer in the collegiate level.  

My speed and strength is vital to the role I play on the field, as a striker. Leadership is an important quality I possess on the field. I know when to push my teammates and when to  applaud their efforts. I listen to my coaches and take what they tell me, and i apply it on the field. 

My grades in school are good. I maintain a 3.5 GPA. I work hard on the field and off the field. Education is important to me, and I enjoy learning. 

My goal is to play college soccer and hopefully professionally one day.  Collegiate soccer is a huge step to my ultimate goal in life, which is playing for the National soccer team.
