About Alejandro

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a left-footed fullback who can play anywhere on the field—from center back to winger. As a left back, I like to tuck inside and support the CDM in creating chances, whether it’s pushing forward in attack or slowing down the tempo to help the team stay calm and keep possession. I’m an aggressive defender who loves winning 1v1 battles, whether I’m defending or going forward.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I love to compete and push my limits—and my teammates’ limits too. I always have to leave the field knowing I gave 100% and got better. When the team is down, I like to motivate everyone and make sure no one gives up, and that we all support each other. I’m the captain of my team, and I try to lead by example—whether it’s during the warm-up or in practice.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Over the years, I’ve received several leadership and kindness awards at school for helping out—like cleaning the cafeteria after lunch and helping new students settle into class.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Sports have helped me develop a lot of important qualities, like empathy. I’ve been captain of my team for five years in a row, and one of the biggest things I’ve learned is that everyone has their own path and might be going through something different. Just because a teammate messes up doesn’t mean I have the right to yell at them or say their game is bad. As a captain, I try to lead and support

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Yes, Over the years, I wasn’t taking care of my body the right way, which led to a few injuries. I’ve learned from that and made some changes—now I prioritize recovery and focus more on my diet.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college team that plays with patience, controls the game, and can make an impact with just a few smart touches.

Lares played a somewhat hybrid role on the left side of GFI Academy’s backline as the team switched from three to four in the back. He was matched up with the Rangers’ talented winger Kian Bishesari Kian Bishesari Kian Bishesari 5'9" | F State TX and had interesting duels with him, winning more than losing. Lares was very good at denying him the ball and preventing him from turning when he had it, while also making some stops 1v1 out wide. He moved to left midfielder during the second half and showed good attacking presence, even getting inside the box to finish chances.
