Michael Shern '28 Recruiting Profile

I love soccer, I'm passionate about the sport. I realize most prospective soccer student athletes say this.  But it is who I am and what I love.  I would love to continue to play soccer in college as a student athlete.  My older cousin played college soccer at University of Central Arkansas and my older sister had multiple offers, but after traveling the country and visiting different schools decided she did not want to be a student athlete.  I watched her go through the whole process and learned so much from her experience. It only confirmed to me that I want to play at the next level beyond high school and club.  I have been rostered on two club teams for the past 4 years. I decided this year to focus on the 2008 team I play up on.  It was a difficult decision. I attend Corner Canyon High School in Draper Utah.  It is a 6A school and all the sports are very competitive. Currently I am a member of  the High School Mountain Bike team.  This is a new endeavor for me and my goal is that it will only strengthen my muscles and build more endurance.  I enjoy being a part of the team as well as continuing my club soccer season simultaneously.  I also have incorporated soccer into my job.  I trained with U.S. Soccer Learning Center and completed the program. I became a licensed Referee February 3, 2024.  Between school, soccer practice, games, tournaments,  mountain bike practice and the NICA races, I try to officiate 2 games a week.  I'm very methodical in playing the game.  I am a hard and dedicated worker, I always show up early and help my other teammates put goal posts away at the end of practice. I plan to pursue Architecture or Pharmacy in college.  I realize my major could change but I've always been drawn to architecture, and my dad is an independent pharmacist with a small pharmacy.  I am active in my church and participate in a weekly youth activity there as well.  I have two older siblings and one younger. I am a tough athlete, a hard worker, and very dedicated to school and soccer. I would love any feedback and college ID camp information.  I look forward to this next step in the process of working towards my goal of playing college soccer.
