Taylor Matas '14 Recruiting Profile

My name is Taylor Matas and my goal is to graduate from high school with a 3.0 GPA or higher and attend a 4-year university. My ultimate goal is to play college soccer while pursuing my dream of becoming an athletic trainer. I have been playing soccer since I was about 11 years old. Although I started off as a hula dancer, when I joined AYSO, I immediately fell in love with the sport! Ever since that day, I have gained many skills that I use everyday on and off the field- social skills, leadership skills, the ability to persevere, time management, etc.- all in which will become very useful in the future. My greatest asset is my passion for the game. I am able to give out 110% heart in each and every match and will always motivate my teammates to play their best. I also strongly believe in the term "student-athlete", because student always comes before athlete. Whether it is in the classroom or out on the field, you can always count on me to try my absolute hardest and give my absolute best.
