Hello!

My name is Sebastien Aranda and my love for soccer began when my pre-school teacher gave me a soccer ball to run out my energy.  I was insistent on playing soccer from that day forward and that is where my journey began.  I started at 4 years old and quickly transitioned to competitive soccer at 5 years old. 

​

I played in competitive leagues from U8 onward, played and traveled across the US until I earned an opportunity to challenge myself and with the support of my parents I moved to Valencia, Spain to live in a residential academy for my Junior year of high school (2023/2024).  Competitive soccer has involved a large amount of team travel, and that prepared me to meet the demands and expectations of thriving in an overseas environment while maintaining my schooling.  

A soccer journey is filled with its respective highs and lows, and with that I have learned to be resilient, a team player, emotionally mature, while valuing camaraderie and sportsmanship.  I hope to continue my soccer journey playing at the college level while pursuing an education in Engineering.

​

On my rest days, I enjoy playing the guitar and spending time with family and friends.
