Sean Neary is a junior on the Cabrini Cavaliers men’s soccer team.
Neary also is a business administration major. Soccer does not describe Sean as a person; it is merely a skill he has possessed over 16 years of playing.
Growing up in Logan Township, N.J., Neary was the middle child. Neary has always looked up to his older brother Jacob. Jacob has taught Sean a lot of lessons in life whether it may be picking out the right choice of clothes to wear out that night or setting a pick on the basketball court.
Taylor Carroll, a friend of Neary, said, “Describing Sean in one word is difficult; it’s just an impossible task to do.”
Sean gives the credit to his mother, Jackie Neary. Growing up, his mother was always doing something funny and constantly making their entire family laugh.
Neary’s mother Jackie has played a major role in molding Neary the way he is. Jackie also coaches field hockey and lacrosse at Cabrini College. Jackie also made Neary”s decision of picking a college a bit more comforting.
Neary grew up around Cabrini and when it was time to choose a school the choice was already made up in his mind, Cabrini.
Neary likes to think of himself as a trend setter when it comes to clothes; he loves wearing Vans in the middle of the summer. He believes that you must always look your best, whether that be waking up for an 8:15 class or going out to eat with his closest friends. Sean attended Kingsway High School. It was there Neary received several accolades for best hair and best dressed.
Neary’s favorite store in the area is Urban Outfitters; he purchases include hats, socks, jeans and whatever shirt is on sale that day.
Sean’s has always focused on his appearance. His freshman year he chose to do something different: he went to get his hair cut and when he came back he had a new look: a mullet. Now Neary has returned to his original look: the long hair. Playing soccer with this long hair might get a little annoying but not for Neary. That’s what head bands were made for!
Neary would rather heat up a package of chicken tenders instead of snacking on his favorite candy while he watches “500 Days of Summer” on a rainy day.
One of his many aspirations is to go on a date with his dream girl, Selena Gomez; “there is not one thing wrong with her,” according to Neary.
Neary would love to coach Chelsea just for one match. They have always been his favorite professional soccer team. Neary does not only play soccer, he enjoys playing basketball in his free time. During his time at Kingsway Neary was the captain of the basketball team his freshman year.
The next time Neary walks in the room, do not label him as a soccer player. He’s more than just a kid from Logan Township, N.J. He’s Sean Michael Neary and there’s only one.
