Global Academy @ ASU Prep and International Soccer Academy are thrilled to celebrate the accomplishments of Matthew Tweedy, a recipient of this year’s Best Student Athlete Award.
Matthew Tweedy: A Rising Star in Soccer and Academics
Seventeen-year-old Matthew Tweedy, a standout American youth soccer player from Wisconsin, has earned International Soccer Academy’s prestigious Best Student Athlete Award for his achievements with Global Academy @ ASU Prep. Known for his tactical intelligence, physical strength and disciplined mindset, Matthew excels on and off the field.
While training with Hertha BSC, one of Germany’s top Bundesliga academies, Matthew has seamlessly balanced his academic and athletic commitments. This year, he completed challenging courses like Chemistry, English, Probability & Statistics and U.S. History, all while maintaining a rigorous training schedule and competing in elite European matches.
Matthew credits ASU Prep Global’s innovative online platform for helping him achieve his academic goals.
“My teachers and Learning Success Coach have made it possible to stay on top of my studies no matter where I am. They care about my success and are always available to help—whether I’m in the classroom or traveling for games.”
— Matthew Tweedy
Off the field, Matthew finds inspiration in sports icons like Lionel Messi and Tom Brady, as well as in music by Eminem. Grounded and goal-driven, his pre-game ritual includes prayer to help him stay focused during high-pressure matches.
When asked what his essentials on a desert island would be, Matthew’s response was both practical and fun: “A yacht, food, water, a soccer ball and my Xbox.”
Matthew embodies the spirit of determination and passion that ASU Prep fosters in its students.
