Will Blake '15 Recruiting Profile

Hello my name is Will Blake and I am in my Sophmore year at The Hill School, a college prepatory school, in Pottstown, PA. I am looking for a college that has both an academically and athletically excellent program. 

I play right back and right wing, but I can easily adapt to any positon on the field because many coaches who have seen me play always say how I can read the game very well. I start right back for my highschool and I start either right back or right wing for my club team, Lehigh Valley. My club team, Lehigh Valley '96, are ranked 1st in Pennsylvania East, ranked 3rd in Region 1 and are ranked 7th in the nation. That sort of competition is what helps me to become a better player because our team works very hard to make sure that we are prepared for the next opponent we have to play.

In 2009 I was asked to go to the US Club Soccer Id2 National Identification Develepment Program. It was a week long camp and I had the chance to play with the best players in my age group and we were all coached by some top class coaches. It was an amazing experience and it really helped me to become a better player.

Although I am only 5' 11'' I am good at winning balls in the air and I go into tackles strong. A key aspect of my game is speed, I am very fast and I love running down the wing with the ball and crossing balls in to the box. I run a 50 yard dash in 6.9 seconds and I run the 200m dash in 23.6 seconds. 

I am looking for a very challening school both academically and athletically. I get along with everyone and I want to keep all my teammates motivated and in a good mood while on the field.                        Thanks for viewing my profile! Will Blake
