Zayan Shah '23 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was 4 years old. Over the years, I have grown up with many friends playing soccer and hanging out after tournaments and league games. The camaraderie and the spirit of belonging to a team, the courage it takes to come back after a tough loss and even sometimes  just fooling around with friends has moulded my character and shaped me as a person who I am today. Ironically, soccer has helped me tremendously with my academic skills. It is so true, the mental toughness and work-ethic that one needs for soccer, has enabled me to excel in academics. As a result, I have done very well in my AP courses in world history and computer science and several Honors classes that I took in sophomore year and I am currently taking 6 AP classes in my junior year and I am doing very well so far. I have been in Talented and gifted (TAG) program since fifth grade. 

I would like to pursue this amazing sport of soccer as long as I can, play at a level wherein I can represent my college and enjoy the camaraderie while at the same time shaping my future by excelling in academics. I envision myself in a program that will demand from me leadership, work-ethic, and academic excellence , while I enjoy a healthy, supportive and fun loving atmosphere.
