Peyton Tarabokija '25 Recruiting Profile

I am a high school junior (school year 2023/24) who has been playing year-round soccer for 11 years and developed a passion and dedication for the sport to last a lifetime. I am a starting varsity player for high school varsity soccer and a starter for my ECNL club team. 

I am a formidable defender who has played a variety of positions with most success achieved in defensive positions (center back and holding mid). My club coach has described me as "the engine of the team" and mentioned that he never wants to take me out.  He says I make good decisions and demonstrate leadership on the field. I play most of the game for my high school team, as well.

I am a hard worker who puts forth max effort in training for my sport and participating in my education.  For soccer, I take on additional private training sessions at TOCA, as well as gym work outs and running  outside of practice.  In addition to a passion for soccer, I am also a dedicated student who has maintained straight As and high achievement during my entire school career, including accelerated math courses as well as other AP/Honors courses in Science, Social Studies, and English. 

My current educational goal is to complete high school with honors and earn an undergrad degree in the sciences at a college where I can contribute and succeed as both a soccer player and a student and then proceed to medical school.

On a personal level, I like to spend time with friends and family and have been told I have a good sense of humor.  My soccer teammates are among my friends and we like to get together with others in the community to play soccer pick-up games as well as beach volleyball.
