Mark Wischmeyer '20 Recruiting Profile

I have had a passion for playing soccer since the age of five.  What sets me apart from other players is that I wake up each day and ask myself, "What do I need to do today to achieve my goals of going to college and playing soccer at the collegiate level?"  What I then choose to do that day include things such as deciding to eat good food, working on skills in the backyard, going on a three mile run, and even studying and doing test prep on the computer.  My actions every day focus on achieving my goals of earning a college degree and playing college soccer.

I consider myself to be a smart, technical player who has good vision on the field.  My ability to create chances for my teammates is one of my greatest strengths as a soccer player.  While I am mainly a midfielder, I also have experience playing left back.  I am left footed.  I pride myself in my composure on the ball and my ability to keep the ball under pressure.  I consider myself to be a coachable player.  I always try my hardest to execute what the coach wants me to do and to do what is best for the team.  I respect my coaches and their knowledge of the game.  I know that I have much to learn and I look to these experienced leaders for guidance.
