Matthew Thiessen's Men's Soccer Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Playing soccer while studying in college has been a dream of mine for many years. 

Character: My teammates and coaches would describe me as reliable and consistent. My employer believes that I am very responsible and because of that trait, I was given the role of shift-leader after 8 months of working. 

Academics: In my junior year I have realized my full academic potential by using resources that I hadn't previously used, achieving a weighted GPA of 4.17. I have challenged myself in taking honors and AP classes. My goal is to take rigorous courses in college and I am considering a major in business or sciences.

Athletics: My defensive mindedness and understanding of the game allow me to play different defensive roles. I have been a starter on highly competitive teams. However, I understand my role going into a new team is likely to change.
