Massad Makdsi '22 Recruiting Profile

All my life, I have loved the game of soccer. The things that influenced me to get into soccer were my friends, father, and professional athletes like Gerard Pique, Serio Ramos, Ronaldo, and Puyol. I look at these athletes praying and trying to be like one of them someday. Something that made ME as a person is that throughout my life our family was so looked down upon, and with me coming in as the eldest child and a 1st Generation American really has some disadvantages, so I take everything I do with pride. My academic goals for high school and college are set very high. I want to have around a 4.5 GPA senior year and all A's throughout college. Some skills I possess are that I am fairly quick, so I can trackback and give aid to my outside backs, as well as recover after going up for a corner.  Speaking of corners, I am very aggressive in defending and attacking corners, and I am the main target to get the ball to for our corners in high school and club. In addition, I am very good in 1 on 1 defending and I am not afraid to get physical; Even though I am physical, I do not commit any unnecessary fouls. I am a good candidate for y'all's team because I am hard-working during practice and games, I will boost your team's morale, by always helping them and staying positive; I am a leader, and I am very effective in games. What makes me different from other recruits is that I don't only play for myself, but for my team and school, and with academics, I can maintain a high GPA with all the practices and games going on.
