Sayed Babiker '21 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer when I was 8 we started playing it at school and everyone in my hometown used to play it. I always liked it but I fell in love with it when I was 13 and I was chosen by my school to participate in a tournament against other school in different cities in Saudi Arabia( where I used to live). Since then I been playing it everyday and improving day by day. I joined a club in my city called Al Fateh and that's when I started taking it more seriously. I went to almost every training and on Fridays we would have a game every week in which I scored like 10 goals and 20 assists as an attacking midfielder. Later on when I was 15 my family traveled to North Carolina and I joined the Barca Academy in Charlotte. They told me about how to get recruited and that's where am at now. As a midfielder I definitely think am really good in passing and having possession of the ball, I create a lot of chances and make many assists long range and short. I also work really hard and always put a 100 percent in every game. This season with Barca academy i started every game we played and made us win a lot of games with the assists I provided. As a leader I strive to make my teammates better and help them improve. I try to lead my team as much as possible.

Academically I have a 2.9 GPA mainly because my freshman year I was in Saudi Arabia and the system was IGCSE not SAT so my grades where different than now.I didn’t take the SAT yet but am taking it in September.I am going to take college classes early in CPCC this year. I want to be an engineer in the future.
