MADELINE ACHKAR 

(MVLA ECNL BARCA 04 Defender)

- CLASS OF 2022 -

 Please accept this soccer recruitment resume for your class of 2022 roster selection. Decorated with over 50 first place medals, 2 National Championships, 1 State Championship, and CCS Championship soccer has been my passion since an early age of 4 years old. Consistently playing for the top teams in the country, National Champions, I am disciplined in the art of competitive soccer and the Barcelona system of play. My coaching and training include extraordinary youth coaches and trainers such as: Franco Benevento, Heath Piper, Anthony Thongkham, Mario Gonzales, Jody Washington, Ellen Fosse, Andres Deza, JT Hanley, Margueritte Aozasa, Erin Montoya, and Albertine Montoya. These coaches have not only incited my knowledge of the game but also lit my desire and love of the game beyond the ordinary. Always finding a pass, an opportunity, or a play needed to score a goal and closingdown threats are all unrivaled skills learned through mycoaching team. My training not only includes soccer, but architecture, playmaking, teamwork, and vision needed for the team’s endless pursuit of excellence. 

 The panic button does not exist in my game! I win becauseof my ability to make good decisions under pressure. Myexcellent technical skills, finesse, and grace instilled from12 years of ballet sets me apart from other players. AtCenter Defense, I am the “Architect” of the Barcelona system of play. Every play, I calculate and measure for not only probability but opportunity. Playing out of the back,possession soccer, puts me in control of the ball more than any other player on the pitch. With a current pass completion ratio at over 95%, my touches are spot on making me one of the best players. I never aimlessly puntthe ball, “Why many ask?” it is simple, “If the other team does not have the ball, they cannot score.” Playing out of the back and breaking lines of pressure always promotes better results than taking a risk of turning possession. Threepasses and you are at your opponent’s front step 100% of the time. Punt and fight results are best at 50/50.  I can kick the ball further than most and chose this style of playbecause of the results obtained; however, my free kicks are powerful and precise. 

 My responsibility as a sweeper includes not only defending the goal but creating plays and being the vision of the team. As the playmaker, my passing range is about 50 to 60 yards.  I can place the ball cross field at the feet of a forward from almost anywhere on the pitch. This incredible range I have has led to many goals and championships as well.  Many of times, I not only lead the team in defending but assists too. I have a keen sense of predicting plays before they happen in shutting down threats and creatinggoal scoring opportunities. Many of my teams I have played for, not only led in goals scored, but never had a single goal scored on, ever. I constantly look for positioning and an edge to get to a loose ball before my opponents. Soccer is a game of split seconds. I use a layered defensive approach, we call “Point of the Diamond” in shutting down breakaways before they happen.

 On a technical level, my dribbling skills are excellent as well as my air game. My decision making lends results and I never get beat on a one-on-one. I am not only a great player but have exceeded expectations as a teammate on and off the pitch as well. My style of play is inclusive of all players working together for a common goal. I have determination and passion needed to overcome adversityand injury.  My league record, academic record, and tournament record wins speak for themselves and prove that I am first amongst champions at a national level. I hope that you share my goals and will consider putting together an offer for me on your 2022 selection roster.
