Anthony Sousa '16 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals are very specific.

I want to excel as a team, win everything we can at the highest level, and develop my skills as a footballer, but I also want to make my academics a priority. A degree is something that has a lot of meaning and value in my life and with a rising 3.4 GPA the last thing I would want to happen is let that slip from my fingertips, so I will always keep academics a priority. I think the things that set me apart from other athletes, besides my reputation and appearances for the U17 Canadian National Team in Montaigu tournament, or being a highlighted figure on Provincial team of Ontario for two years, I think my leadership abilities give me a huge advantage. I will always be vocal, always lead by example and I'm always eager to develop as a player and a person. I've raised my team up from being behind numerous times, with inspirations from tackles or shots or constant encouragements and passion, and I feel like that's an asset any team would love to have. I've scored 7 goals and 5 assists in 14 games in OYSL (highest league in Ontario)this past season. Certain strengths I have vary from my 24 inch vertical and winning everything in the air, to my long range shot to my close dribbling. I believe that soccer is my one true passion in life, and I will give anything to stay on top of my game.
