About Noah Canlas

You’re too small to play division one soccer.” A quote from a division one school’s head coach in which I really wanted to attend and be a student athlete for. A few years later that same coach approached my college coach after a game. He asked where he had recruited me from inquiring that he had missed out on a talented player. My coach replied, “You don’t remember? That’s Noah Canlas, and I found him at one of your ID camps after you told him he was too small to play division one soccer.” What that coach saw that day was my size. What he didn’t see was my drive. From the day he told me I was too small, I had taken up my own catch phrase that would follow me around everywhere went: “Prove them wrong” or “PTW\" for short. I wrote it on my wrist tape before every game as a reminder that not everyone will see the work that you put on behind the scenes. “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.” ― John WoodenI value traits like hard work, self motivation, and drive to always be better. A person’s willingness to do the work behind the scenes, is a true testament to a person’s work ethic and character. Not only do I carry these traits on the soccer field, but within everything that I do.
