Keegan Kaas '18 Recruiting Profile

My name is Keegan Kaas and I am currently a Junior at the Catlin Gabel School in Portland, Oregon.  Catlin Gabel is an academically rigorous school and one of the highest rated independent schools in the Pacific Northwest.

A little bit about me:  I love to play piano and I am currently teaching myself to play guitar.  I am maturing in my song-writing skills and every now and then perform in front of an audience when the opportunity arises.  I enjoy spending time with my family, going on hikes and exploring the outdoors.  My schoolwork is also very important to me, and as I have developed into a young adult I have come to realize that the most important thing I can do at this stage in my life is to train my mind.

Then we come to soccer—I love it….with a passion.  I have been playing the game of soccer for as long as I can remember.   I currently play for my high school as well as for my club team (FC Portland).  I also play for the Portland Timbers ODP ‘99/’00 team.   I was recently invited to the ODP Region IV Camp for the coming 2016/2017 season.  I train daily, be it with my team(s) or by myself, always working hard to improve my skill set.  Sports have taught me a lot about myself, about winning as well as losing.  Being an athlete has also taught me about what it means to be a part of a team.  It is my sincere desire to be part of an organization where I will have an opportunity to thrive and grow as an individual--both on and off the field. 

I promise to work hard, learn and develop in an effort to contribute to the organizations for whom I have the honor of representing.

Thank you in advance for your consideration
