Isaac Cleveland '18 Recruiting Profile

My dream is to play football in a highly competitive environment where I am pushed hard every day. My long term goal is to play for the New England Revolution or a European team. I have been playing with Synergy Football Club, a premier, technically-focused, Vermont football club, for over five years and have been a starting goalie for three years. I thrive on challenges and hard work and stand by a set of core values that include perseverance, passion, courage, heart, and teamwork. These values help me determine the outcome of every decision I make.

I am a confident leader on and off the field. I do my best to inspire and motivate my teammates through my actions as a goalkeeper. Every week I balance an incredibly busy schedule which includes AP classes, 3 hours of practice every day, a part-time job, and leadership roles in photography and investing clubs. I don't shy away from pressure or stress and am able to maintain a 4.0 GPA. When confronted with a challenge, I find it’s best to face it head on and to work through the details. You will find that I have a very coachable personality. I work regularly with my teachers and coach to set goals for myself so that I am always looking forward. I have the physical fitness and agility to be a high-performing goalie. At 6’-2”, I can cover a goal while also being coordinated enough and fit enough to dive and bounce back quickly. I hope that you will give me the privilege of playing for your team and studying at your institution.
