Robert Castro '19 Recruiting Profile

My name is Robert Castro and I live in Santa Clarita, California. I am currently a junior at Golden Valley High School where I continue to challenge myself with AP and honor classes. I am currently 6'0 and weigh 150 pounds. I am a defender that can play anywhere on the back line and also succeed as a defensive midfielder. I am strong with aerial balls and love winning headers. I enjoy putting in aggressive tackles and winning individual battles. I am not afraid to take on a player at a 1v1 when the situation calls for it.  My ability to stay calm under pressure are great assets in any position I play.  As a freshman I was Junior Varsity Captain and awarded the scholar athlete award (3.5 or higher award) as well as the team MVP.  I was the only freshman to be called up for Varsity.  I am captain of my Varsity high school team, lead my team in assist, awarded MVP, and was awarded the scholar athlete award once again. In addition, I was also one out of the only two sophomores in my conference to be awarded All Conference Second Team. I play on Real So Cal flight 1 and finished third in league while I captained the team. I am passionate about the game and the many lessons the game has taught me. I am extremely competitive and want to compete at the highest level possible for me. I always welcome constructive criticism making me a very coach-able player that is ready to soak in any piece of advice. I do not mind hard work at all. I take this attitude into school as I am a serious student aspiring to attend a university with a quality education, in which I can get a degree in Information Systems and Business Administration. 

Thank You for viewing my profile and for your consideration.
