Thomas Parrish '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Thomas Parrish and I am 2021 graduate from South Lakes High School. I am a center mid but I am able to play outside back as well. I have been fortunate enough to play for multiple teams and experience different playing and coaching styles in domestic and international matches. This has made me a versatile player who can excel in a variety of environments and in a variety of positions and has enhanced my view of the game and helped me understand that there isn’t just one way to get to the end goal. I am looking for a school that is a good fit for me athletically, academically, and on a personal level. Not only do I believe I have the talent for collegiate soccer, I also have the work ethic, leadership skills, and ability to be a great teammate as my first priority is the success of the team. 

 I have played on many teams that have won championships and perform at the highest level. I believe that I have been able to play with these teams because I make a contribution on and off the field. Although the teams I have played with have won often, the games that we lose are important to me because they are learning points for the future. I am very open to constructive criticism because I am always focused on what I can do better.
