Andrew Place '16 Recruiting Profile

     Ever since I began playing soccer at the age of 6, it has been a dream to play at a college or even professional level.  I understand the time and effort needed to reach that level and attend a minimum of 3 practices a week not including my weekly visits to the local field on my own.  I currently average over 1 goal per game and use my speed and size to my advantage.  I take constructive criticism well and enjoy coaching tips, drills, or extra practices to help me improve as a player.  I am self motivated and enjoy conditioning and staying fit.  One of my fondest soccer memories is attending the 2013 region III camp in Alabama.  I wish to play Division 1 or 2 soccer and am open to any colleges regardless of their location.  As a soccer player, I can promise that I want it more than anyone else and will work my way to the top regardless of what level I start.
 I have always been a very competitive person.  I played bass clarinet in my middle school band and attended All-State my 7th grade (3rd chair) and 8th grade year (1st chair).  Aside from soccer, I kick for my high school varsity football team making 4/5 field goals in my 2013 season.  In the classroom, I am currently enrolled in all honors classes and maintain a weighted GPA of at least a 4.0.
