Michael Tran '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Michael Lee Tran and and I am a senior at Federal Way High School in Federal Way, WA. I love the game of soccer because of the rush and the quick decisions. Also that feeling where you can’t be stopped and nobody can get by you. I am a very hard working, competitive person academically and athletically.  Due to the pandemic, I never got to play my freshman year, but I have worked hard to have the opportunity to be a Varsity starter my sophomore, and junior years. I was even named All-league boys soccer teams in the South Sound for the 2022 spring season - 1st Team - Defense.

I have played all different positions and I am a reliable and adaptable player. For the past few years I have been learning and changing as an outside back. I have the grit and determination to fight for the whole 90.  I never give up and I do my best to leave everything on the field. When the other team is winning, it pushes me to work harder and let no one else get by me.  I am not content to be anything but the best I can be and will study longer, train harder, and keep persevering until I accomplish my goals and those of my teachers and coaches.

When my high school and youth soccer club career is over, I want to be known as an excellent student and great team player. The major that I would like to specialize in is either mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or computer engineering because I’m fascinated in how things are designed, how they work and I like to try to build things on my own.
