Noah Stanford '17 Recruiting Profile

My coaches consider me as a physical threat who can play a full 90 minutes and works the hardest during each training session and in every game.  I am a very motivated and dedicated player who works 100% with all his heart on the soccer field and in the classroom.

Just to tell you a little bit about myself:  I was the captain of my high school varsity team in grade 10 and 11 and was voted team MVP the last 3 years (grade 9,10 and 11) I played attacking midfielder and scored the most goals every year. As for club play, I have been a member of the Ottawa Fury FC academy (Ottawa Fury FC is an NASL professional club) for the last 7 years now. My biggest accomplishment playing for the club came in 2014 when our U15 team (which I was the co-captain of) won the North American Super Y-League Championship (the first in our club history). We now play in the Premiere Ligue de Soccer du Quebec which is Quebec’s semi-professional men’s league in which the average player age is 24 years old. I have also trained with the Toronto FC Academy under 18   and I have also gone  to France and England and played against professional academy's like Olympique Lyon, As Nancy, LeMan, Madagascar national team and  trained/played against Tottenham Hotspurs academy .  As well I have also trained with the Ottawa Fury FC first team multiple times so I do have that professional experience. My goal is to work as hard as I can every second I am on the field so then I am always improving myself and improving the players around me on my team. How I contribute most to the team is being a well rounded player who can play any position as well as being a team player whose strengths are precision passing, physicality and game awareness.

As a student, I am as hard working in every class as I am every time I am on the pitch and try my hardest without ever giving up. I currently have a 3.0 GPA and have not done my SAT test but I do plan on taking the SAT test on May 7th. . My goal is to score 620 or over on the SAT test.  I plan on applying for the sports management program or business program with aspirations of building my soccer/sport experience into a career within this field which is one of the reason why I am interested in attending this institution.
