Daniel Yurk '19 Recruiting Profile

At the age of seven I found my passion for soccer and specifically in the box.  Being a dedicated keeper from such a young age has supported my development and focus both on and off the field.   A keeper looks at the larger picture of the field and notices all the moving parts to take advantage and support the team.  I have found this same viewpoint not only helps me on the pitch, but in the classroom, in leadership roles and as I handle difficult tasks in life.  As I have matured I have found that there area always opportunities to take advantage of, new skills to work on, and ways to maximize the elements of the team to be successful.  In school and on the field, being coach-able is essential to becoming the best that I can be.  A willingness to listen, learn and observe has served me well and I hope to continue this through my collegiate years both athletically and academically.  Dream BIG!
