Alexander Knox '14 Recruiting Profile

I am 5'10" and weigh 165 lbs. i have played almost every position on the field but have the most experience at left mid. I am an extremely hard and consistent worker and a reliable team member.

I've been playing soccer since I could walk - making my first select team when I was 10. Becoming a more committed soccer player I joined Crossfire Premier, a competitive year-round club where I was the league's top scorer my first year, won various tournaments and finished at the top of the league. The following two years I continued to play as a forward and midfielder. In 2009 my family and I moved to Paris, France. I played for a club called Athletic Club du Bolougne-Billancourt, an elite French club. I played both club and then Varsity soccer for the American School of Paris as a starter during my whole time in France, mostly as a left midfielder. We played international schools in our league where our team finished consistently in the top 5. In addition, while living in France, twice I was invited to Gothenberg, Sweden to play in the Gothia World Youth  Cup with my French club (ACBB)

Returning to the US I joined Crossfire, and was junior captain of my HS team, making the all-league second team. I finished my 2013 club season as captain in March, where we were finalists in the Washington State Cup and I was named to the tournament top 11. I am currently captain of my high school team, Lake Washington High School.

It's my dream to continue to play soccer at the most competitive level possible as I pursue my college education. I've always worked hard on the field and constantly aspire to improve. I play every chance I get between formal team workouts and games. Soccer is a huge part of my life, it has helped me be successful in school and as a leader, and I am really looking forward to being part of a college soccer program while earning a degree in business.
