About Athlete
Christian N. Kyriacou, Toronto ON, Canada.
I have passion. I am competitive.
My genetics is Soccer.
I consider myself a valuable player because of my intelligence in soccer. Influenced, by both my father’s and uncle’s stories of their early years when offered to play semi-pro. Hearing the stories of coming to Canada from Cyprus, growing up as an immigrant, and encountering challenges throughout their life on and off the field. This pushed me to thrive and anticipate events before they happen, assess the situation, and make decisions leading to being a better person, student, and player.
Growing up I was on the B team. I had to work hard and train hard to show the talent within me. One day it paid off when the coach started me – my determination, my passion, being a team player, and my drive to be the best. I know that you have to work hard, train hard, practice, and practice and practice will lead you to your goals.
I learned from my mother’s family originally from the Philippines how to be kind and compassionate. The struggles and sacrifices they went through to support our families in Canada and abroad. This taught me to never give up, to always look for a solution, and to be good to others.
I will face difficulties on the pitch and off the pitch. I am ready for my next Journey to playing with high-performance teams, and coaches, and learning from my professors.

What makes you different?
What makes me different is that I am like water as it assumes numerous forms. This is what differentiates me from other student-athletes. Like water, I adapt to what is required and shape/form myself to the situation. I have the self-confidence to carry a ship, take the shape of a cup, be shapeless, and adapt to the situation. Like water, I am solid in my belief that I/we will win and deal with any situation that comes my/our way. My team sees and feels me as their captain as I lead them and hold them together under pressure to achieve outcomes through people. With my passion and self-confidence, I want to be better than others, even better than myself. As captain of the team and as a leader outside of sport, I motivate and get results through people, make decisions in the heat of competition, recognize when someone makes a good play, and share feedback on what could have been done better.
Why do you want to compete in college?
Why I want to compete in college is to be exposed to high-performance coaches, teammates, and professors. Learn from each experience and be exposed to new situations that will grow and develop me for the future.
College Goals?
My goal is to receive a scholarship to a University where I will be able to play soccer with a high-performance team and work toward a degree for my future career after soccer.
