Alex Russell '26 Recruiting Profile

I have been a competitive soccer player since I was 5 years old.  I started with the local recreation program and progressed to Travel Soccer when I was 7.  Currently I am a dual sport athlete Soccer and Ice Hockey.  I have developed a passion for both sports and I excel at the strategy behind the sport.  Being an outside back it allows me to see the field of play and I can visual see the play build from the back.  

My strengths on the Soccer field is the ability to be one play ahead.  I can see the field and I communicate that to my teammates.  Currently I am one of the team captain which allows me to be a leader on and off the field.  

My goals are to play a sport at a higher level once I complete HighSchool.  I am a firm believer that I am a better soccer player because I play Hockey and I am a better Hockey player because I play soccer.  I have the drive to overcome adversity on and off the field and I crave high level of competition.
