Christian Anderson '17 Recruiting Profile

I have always loved soccer. My sister played and my mom signed me up for soccer and basketball when I was four years old. I have a very supportive family and I have been fortunate to play at different levels, recreation, church, travel and our state team.

Most people say that I don't talk much, but I am vocal on the pitch and am a leader for other players. My teachers all say that I am very respectful and a good student. 

I play striker for high school and NC ODP teams. I play center attacking midfielder and left mid for club team. I am primarily right-footed, but can use left foot very well. I have excellent field reading skills and can complete passes in tight spaces. I work well as a primary or secondary striker. I have great stamina and above average leaping/jumping skills to get to headers first. I also have a strong upper and lower body. 

I can visualize and set up run plays, and I can play one-touch soccer skillfully. I have strong first touch and am skillful with the ball. I know when to keep the ball as well as when to pass it.  I am learning to be both mentally and physically tough and I am ready for the challenge of playing at the next level.

Thank you for considering me as a member of your soccer team,

Christian Anderson
