Franco Di Giovanni '22 Recruiting Profile

I am a 2004 born student attending Saint Michael’s catholic secondary school in Bolton, Ontario. I play for Bryst Football Academy, 2004 boys and Captain the team. Bryst u17 is currently competing in the highest level of soccer in the province of Ontario. I put as much effort into my academics as I do soccer. I completely understand being a university soccer player comes with being academically responsible. I firmly believe that being a great student is just as important as being a great player. This is why I strive for the highest grades possible. Soccer has been my passion since I learned to walk. It has always been my goal to become a professional player and I continue to strive for it daily. I am always the hardest working and competitive player on the pitch because since I was young it was rooted in my game that “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard”. I also have grown up with 2 older siblings so every time I walk on the field I feel as though I have a point to prove always giving me that competitive edge. This beautiful game has also been a huge character builder. It has taught me patience, joy, and heartbreak and I feel every time I walk off that field I have grown as a person in a different way. I hope to attend a university that will help me become a better person,  player, and student.
