Taylor Souza '14 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing since I was 7 and am in love with this sport. I started out in the Masc division with Vipers FC and helped that team be undefeated for their first year. For Vipers I worked hard to be their top scorer. After that I decided to move to a year older team called Acedemica, because they played in the Maple league and I wanted a challenge. On this team I play forward, midfield and defense. As I went into high school I was a starting freshman for New Bedford High School, and was told during the middle ofmy junior year that i will be the captain my senior year. I switched onto Explosion FC so I could play my own age group and play division one in Maple. Even though I have had different coaches throughout my life I still play my heart out to show off my talent. I have always dreamed of playing soccer in college. I intend to keep my hard work ongoing and pursue my dream by working hard and getting better day by day. I also play with a positive attitude and I have a non-stop work ethic during games, practice, and even off the field. I am looking for a college that has a good program that will let me persue my dream of being a sports physical therapist. I am also looking for a soccer program where I can make a difference and train hard to make my way to a starting position. I believe I can play college soccer because of my accomplishments and mindset to work hard year round.

Some of my accomplishments are:

Varsity Starter all years

Top scorer (Vipers, Highschool)

Standard Times Honorable mention as a sophomore

Standard Times All-Star team as a junior

Big Three All-Star as a Junior

Olympic Development Massachusetts team

Senior captain
