William (Ben) Myers '25 Recruiting Profile

I have played the beautiful game of soccer since I was four years old and from the first time I stepped foot on the pitch, I knew this was a game that I loved and would enjoy for the rest of my life.  I am a student of the game.  I love watching videos of various players so that I can absorb as much knowledge of the game as I can.  I work every day to be the best player and teammate that I can be and strive to reach the highest level that I could possibly reach.  

I am a versatile offensive attacking player with a high field IQ.  I like to create scoring opportunities with my teammates but am not afraid to take the opportunity myself, if needed.  I typically play the striker position for my high school team but have played as wing back for my TN ODP team or as an attacking midfielder and winger for my club team or my high school team.  I will play at any position that is needed.  I feel that I am a highly coachable player and will do whatever it takes for the good of the team.  My attitude on and off the field remains positive and supportive, no matter the circumstance.  I am always open to learn training or strategic techniques from individuals that have been part of the game for much longer than I have been.

Recently, I have played with a higher age bracket for a club team in Division I with 2006 players to develop my skills, while being a top scorer on the team.  I have traveled with the TN ODP team to play in England on the 05-06 team against teams such as Oxford FC, Slough Town FC, and Tranmere Rovers.  I have also played on my high school varsity team since I was a Freshman...one of three Freshman to do so in the history of the school.

My family is my strongest supporter and I work hard to make them proud of the man that I am becoming.  Ultimately, I would love to share my love of the game with others as a coach when my soccer career is complete.
