Thanuwat Kraiwan '23 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has been my life and my passion for longer than I can remember.  I started playing when I was young and I grew my level each and every year.  It has become evident to all of my peers just how much this sport means to me and the lengths I would go to to improve, to play, and keep playing for as long as my physical ability permits. I have found inspiration in my family and friends around me to complete the basics: do good in school and train harder each and every day. 

Much of my drive stems from my two parents. When I was very little my father implemented a ball into my every step, nursing that passion I have from a young age. My mother on the other hand, as a teacher, required me to always maintain a sharp mind, which has helped me both in the classroom and on the field. Because of them both I have always been driven to be the best at what I do, whether I am or not, to be the leader that even I, myself, can look up to, and to always inspire, never tear down.

As a player I like to be intuitive and read the game like a book, predicting several steps ahead. As a forward, I like to be creative in finding holes and gaps in the opposition's defense, while keeping the ability to finish. I try to stay connected to every player on my team because I believe chemistry is one of the most important aspects of a team and the ability to know everyone's next move is beyond beneficial.

I am driven to play at the next level and will do whatever I can to get there.
