Hello, my name is Jacob Thomas and I am currently playing for Spire FC in ECNL RL. I have been playing soccer ever since I can remember. Since I first stepped on the field, I have aspired to play at a high level and reach the collegiate level. My passion for the game translates on and off the field. On the field I am a team leader and try to lead not only by example but also through constant communication and uplifting of my teammates. I am coachable and strive to be the hardest worker on the field each and every day. Off the field I am focused on lifting to get stronger and maintaining a healthy and nutritional diet. I am always watching and analyzing the game which has led to my intellectual play. In the classroom, I work extremely hard to take rigorous classes while still maintaining a high GPA.  Through time management, I balance school, soccer, and many other extracurriculars.  I would like to attend a college that challenges me both on the field and in the classroom and that will open up pathways for my future.
