dan baldridge '19 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer at age three [3] and have never had so much fun. By my age of 16 years old, a lot of girls are starting to burn out with soccer and have no plans on playing college soccer. I love the game of soccer and I have already taken the next step in soccer with earning my National TSSAA "E" Course soccer coaching license. Already started work on the National D Course. I also coach Youth U5 to U9 soccer for the LobosRush Soccer Club Coaching Academy. For the last three [3] years, I have coached Youth soccer for Soccer Ole' Memphis & CBHS Memphis. This summer I earned the President's Volunteer Service Award [PVSA] - Gold, for Community Service. In June 2017 I will conduct my own summer soccer camp for underprivileged Youth kids. The camp is free and I am the Camp Director & Coach. I will provide camp tee shirts and soccer balls to my campers.

I play ODP soccer for Tennessee and my Position is #4. I can also play midfield and up top. I am a very aggressive defender and have only had one [1] Yellow card in 10 years of competitive play. I take all the long balls and corner kicks for my Club Team. The parents say, that my corner kicks are money in the bank. I have played up for my Club for the last 5 years and this year I am playing at the U19 level. 

I have been an A student at Saint Agnes Academy Memphis for the last 13 years and work out to improve my soccer and track skills almost every day - there is no down time and I love it. I will play and coach soccer as long as I am able to do so.
