2017 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am Derek Jerome Jackson of San Marino, California. I’m a member of the San Marino High School Class of 2017. I carry a 3.80 GPA and I’m a member of the National Honor Society. Academics are very important to me.
In addition to high school varsity soccer, I play for the 2015 NHB Cup champion Hollywood FC club team. I'm considered to be a smart player. I’m good at making steals, and I’m known for my ball control skills. I can kick with both feet. I dribble around the house practicing my technique. I keep a positive attitude on and off the field. My goal is to play at the highest level in college and attend a school that will challenge me academically.
-----------
"Derek is an extremely coachable player and responds well to direction. He reads the game very well and is an effective playmaker in the deep midfield. He is training as a 6 and is making great progress in the transition from defense to attack. He is calm under pressure and maintains his composure very well in high level matches. He is a team player and a positive influence on and off the field.”
-Coach Santo Rivas, Hollywood FC
-----------
"Derek worked hard in difficult weather conditions (100 degree heat). His endurance provided coaches the ability to count on him for quality minutes. As a 2017 grad, he still has his final youth season to develop all four pillars of his game. If he does so, I am confident he will be able to continue playing after high school."
-Coach Samadhi Fisher of University of La Verne
