During the past four years of High School soccer that I have had the privilege to get to know Nasch, I have seen him grown into an outstanding athlete, disciplined student, and person of great character who is confident and thrives for excellence.
Since Nash Palmer joined Box Elder Boys Soccer he has been an integral player of our team. He is a very disciplined individual, with great work ethic, exceptional skills, and most importantly, has become a great team player. This is evident with him being selected as a team captain this year by his peers. I have always seen him working hard, encouraging others, and striving for excellence both on and off the field. Nasch is an exciting soccer player to watch. He is a talented young man with incredible footwork, great vision and a drive to succeed. He is fun to watch play the beautiful game of soccer.
