Notably, during a Northern California tournament, Arun stepped into the goalkeeper role and did not concede a single goal, underscoring his adaptability and mental toughness under pressure. 

As a high school freshman, Arun earned a place on the varsity team, an achievement that reflects both his technical ability and maturity. He was quickly promoted to defensive captain, and went on to play varsity for the remainder of his high school career, ultimately serving as the overall team captain. His leadership extends beyond his own position Arun actively collaborates with coaches, helps organize defensive shape, and communicates effectively with midfielders and forwards to control tempo and structure on the field. 

Offensively, Arun is a modern centre back with confidence on the ball. He regularly initiates attacks by carrying the ball forward, breaking lines, scoring goals himself, or delivering well-timed assists to advancing attackers. His vision and decision-making allow him to influence matches on both sides of the pitch. 

His goalkeeping instincts and physical control are heavily strengthened by his extensive mixed martial arts background. MMA has developed superior balance, body control, reaction speed, and spatial awareness, all of which translate directly to both defensive play and goal protection. Arun is calm in high-contact situations, difficult to unbalance, and highly effective at staying composed during physical challenges and scrambles in the box. 

Additionally, Arun’s participation on his high school track team has further refined his speed, stamina, and breathing control, allowing him to maintain high performance levels throughout an entire match. 

Arun is a complete defensive player—strong, composed, tactically aware, and enhanced by elite-level physical discipline capable of anchoring the back line and providing security across the entire defensive third.
