Maya Quinones '23 Recruiting Profile

I'm a 5'4 player from a small town Texas who in three words would be described as passionate, hard-working, and competitive. A goal of mine is to play soccer in college while I earn a degree sports medicine or kinesiology. My love for the beautiful game began at the age of 6. I grew up in a family who was obsessed with soccer , so I was destined to play. Both my parents played soccer in high school and fueled what is now my soccer career . My first look into what could be called "real competitive soccer" was when I did ODP in 2018. I made it to the region pool, saw my abilities and was determined to get better. I've played for San Antonio Sting ECRL and I'm currently playing with Classic Elite 05 ECNL.  For my club team I play outside back and right wing.  I recently was able to add the forward position to my resume as my high school team pushed me to play that position. My freshman year I was awarded newcomer of the year as well as utility player of the year. As for my sophomore year, we were district champions in the 32-6A division and I was awarded offensive player of the year for the district. I was able to be the top scorer in my team with 23 goals and it was a eye opener to me since it was my first time playing forward. As for my junior year I was able to help my team be back to back district champions in the 32-6A area.  I was awarded 1st team All District Forward. We have made playoffs the 3 years I have been playing at Harlingen High. I am a team player who is passionate about whatever I do.  I am known as a very energetic player and I tend to portray that upon any team I'm playing with. My mindset is to win, but take any mistake or loss as an opportunity to get better. I hope to grow as a person and as a player with the help of the right people. My college career is something I'm looking forward to and I will do anything to achieve that dream of mine. Only God knows where I am destined to be and with my go-getter attitude I will find that place.
