Born in Madrid, Spain, before living in Mexico for a few years, junior midfielder and captain Alex Miller has been playing soccer since he was four-years old, coming from a family who has a deep love for the sport. Alex, who has lived in Leominster for the past 13 years, is the total package according to boys’ varsity soccer coach Steve McCaughey.
“Alex has extraordinary talent and he has grown into an exceptional leader,” McCaughey said. “He is one of the top players in Central Massachusetts and is able to do things with a soccer ball that seem impossible. More importantly, he is one of the hardest working players on my team and is capable of making the players around him better.”
Alex, who also plays club soccer for the FC Stars, said he loves being part of the sport.
“I like how it brings people from different nationalities and societies,” Alex said.
Alex is aiming to play NCAA Division 1 soccer and plans on studying to become a physical therapist.
Before that though, Alex wants to enjoy the rest of his time being a part of the Blue Devil Nation.
“I like how kids from all kinds of backgrounds come together and become great friends on and off the field,” Alex said.
Alex said his favorite class at LHS is Honors Spanish 3 with Mrs. Piragis.
Alex is a hardworking, modest kid who doesn’t take his background knowledge of Spanish for granted in class,” Piragis said. “He’s open to feedback and has a lot to contribute to class discussions regarding his experiences in Spain and Mexico.”
Off the field, Alex likes spending time with his friends and family. His brother Yago, who graduated last year was also a standout soccer player at LHS. Alex’s sister Emma, is making her mark to, playing varsity field hockey as a freshman for the Blue Devils.
