Edward Smith '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Edward "Connor" Smith I am currently a sophomore at Cape Fear Academy in Wilmington NC. Soccer is my passion and I hope to play at the college level or higher.

For the 2016 year, I played on WHYFC 01 Premier team, I was the leading goal scorer and led my team to the Region III status for the 2016 fall season. I am a true 02 and played 01 for the Region III team as the starting defensive midfielder and also play attacking midfield. I am very good with my feet and very strong technically. One strong suit of mine is to see the field and find the open man and make passes that lead to goals. I am very coachable and have won the coaches award several times in my career. I have also played ODP for NC and have been on the first the past 4 years. I was also a holdover at Region Camp in July of 2016 and made region pool and the Region III team that went to the national events. I do play on my varsity team at school and I was a starting midfielder as a freshman. In November (2016), I was invited to the National ODP event to represent Region 3 soccer.

For the year 2017, I was invited to play in Argentina and represent Region 3 against some of the top youth clubs, including Boca Juniors, Racing, Argentinios Juniors, and San Lorenzo. I was also a holdover again at Region Camp in Alabama for the 2017 Region 3 Boys Camp. 

I have maintained an A average throughout my academic years at Cape Fear Academy. Currently, I have a 4.7 and I am taking all honors classes including Honors Spanish III and 10th-grade math Honors Algebra 2.

I do extra training outside of school, club, and ODP.  I train with Superb Soccer Training School in Wilmington NC. I do fitness on my own, I run and do weight/strength training as I am determined to be in the fittest on the field.
