Arkadiusz Szlachta '16 Recruiting Profile

My main goals for college would be to get the best kind of education I can in order to succeed further on in life and to be able to continue to play soccer at the college level at the same time. I would love to play college soccer at the highest level.  Also being a student athlete academics are just as important to me so I work hard in the classroom as well and I currently have a 3.63 cumulative GPA.

I have started for my high school varsity soccer team since my sophomore year and have worked hard with the team to go from our first season together to only win 2 games. To ending with a 8-9-2 overall record this past year and will be looking to improve even more my senior year. So I know how hard work can pay off and it just motivates me to keep working hard every day. I play for the Palatine Celtic SC travel team and I also play for the Illinois ODP team as mostly a right back or right winger but I can also play on the left side at those positions as well. I like to have fun when I play but I also take the sport very seriously so I think that is what a lot of coaches do expect from players that will and do play at the higher level. I really think I can contribute and compete at the college level and I would greatly appreciate the chance to do so. Thank you!
