I’m Jackson Rader

Right Midfield/Right Defender

About me

I have played soccer since the age of 4, and I have a strong passion for the game. Every time I walk out onto the field for training, I am ready to work hard and train to become a better player and be a better leader for my team.

My athletic capability is also something that sets me apart. Having trained in cross country and track – I compete with a level of speed and endurance that may of my competitors cannot match. The training and work that I put in both during practices as well as outside of soccer, has really elevated my game. My training has enabled me to be much more prepared for the speed of any opponent that I am up against, and helps me to be on my toes at all time, to respond quickly to the ball, and to be physical in the way that I can take on my opponents.

Academics are a top priority, and my goal is to graduate at the top of my class. I am enrolled in advanced level classes and am driven to make sure I’m challenging myself academically, as well as working and studying hard to receive excellent grades. I am focused in my classes, and I have good relationships with my teachers. While soccer is my passion, I work hard to ensure my academic pursuits will position me to to attend a great school where I can pursue high-level academics and athletics, at the collegiate level.
