Jorge Lara '16 Recruiting Profile

Dear coaches,

        My name is Jorge Lara and i am a junior at Chapin high school, in el Paso TX. I've played soccer since i was 4 years old, it has been my dream to play soccer to the next level which is collegiate level, I have experience as forward, hook, attacking midfielder, wing and i also played goalkeeper, and it has also been my dream to be an electric engineer or software engineer, i really look forward college because i am serious about school and the sport i love which is soccer and both of them are an important part of my life, I consider myself a talented soccer player and dedicated student.

         when i was younger I would always tell people about how i really want to be someone in life and that soccer is what is going to take me there, people would just make fun of me putting me down, but i consider myself a positive individual, when im in the field my problems go away , every time i set a goal people cant put me down, i am very confident about myself in and out the field, and i know i can and i will succeed because i give everything i got every time i have a challenge in front of me, when someone tell me i cant i give double effort i do everything i can for my team and give 110%, i know im different from other players because is rare to see me give up when my body says stop, my heart says keep going.

         I believe im a strong asset to any team because im a hard worker, my life revolves around soccer,i consider myself a good captain/leader for my club team representing them when we travel to tournaments or just city league, my dedication for the beautiful game pushes me to get better every practice and every experience i have in each game, to me its not only a sport or a way to spend time, it is a way of life, i cant imagine my life without soccer in it, i see myself playing collegiate level even further to the professional level.
