Personal Statement
David Sammon (2016)
I can make an impact on your team. I am a fast, strong and tactical player. I can play anywhere on the field (except keeper) and have had great success in the back and as a striker. I like to play with teammates who can work together and I believe have helped my team play well together.

I love soccer. I was born in England while my family was living there for my dad's job. I would watch "football" on the TV at night with my dad. I have always kicked the ball around and joined my first team when I was 5. I was an all star for U8 and the coaches told me to try travel soccer. I joined a class 3 team because I also played travel baseball.
I have been a varsity starter since the first game of my freshman year. Last season, I play in the back and split time up front. I lead the league in goals this year and made the all league team. I currently have a 3.6 GPA.
I played on the local club, Petaluma United, from U10-U16 And helped them move from bronze to gold. I was one of the captains on the team since the team picked captains in my U12 season. In my U15 season we were the Northern California champions in the CYSA Presidents Cup and advanced from pool play in the the regional tournament in Idaho.
As I begin my U17 season in November, I tried out and made it on another local team, Marin FC U17 Blue. I look forward to testing myself on this top regional team. I stopped playing baseball last season so I can focus on soccer. I can play anywhere on the field. I think my ball skills are really good and I like to help set up great plays.
