Eli Mereness Real...Eli Mereness Real...Eli Mereness #33 ...Eli Mereness#33 R...Eli Mereness #33 ...Personal Statement
My collegiate goals are to earn a four year degree from a strong university, as well as be able to play soccer at the highest level. Doing well in school is important to me, as well as playing soccer. I would be a good candidate for a team because I have a strong style of play in which I can dribble through defenders, slip through balls to strikers, and swing the ball efficiently from one side to the other. I enjoy playing the position I do which helps me and my team succeed. I am a firm believer of sacrificing for my team instead of worrying about individual performance. At the end of the day, it is about putting three points on the board, and I do whatever my team needs me to do in order to ensure a win. Another strong suit is my field positioning whether I'm sitting in at defensive mid, or higher in the number 8 position. I can get forward using my speed allowing me to put the ball in the net. I have a bold personality and am a good leader, especially on the pitch. I'm a strong, consistent player who always looks to outplay his opponent. I have good grades that help represent the kind of student I am.
