Personal Statement
Chris Perez
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 180
Currently on the Southern Polytechnic State University Soccer Team and will be playing out our final games as we merge with Kennesaw State University. Although I was red-shirted my first season with SPSU, I was able to gain and practice against very strong, mature international players. I have gained much confidence and learned to manage my studies while maintaining a vigorous workout schedule. In August I will turn 19 years of age I am stronger, more physical, mature and fitter than ever before. I am ready to play four years of soccer in a University that can appreciate and benefit from my talents, size and knowledge of the game.
The school I play for will have to satisfy both my field of study and secondly my love for soccer. Finding the right balance between school, soccer and location is very important to me. I am determined and would love to play for a Division I, II or III University, however I remain open to different types of school. I believe these levels will hold the right balance I seek in a College/University.
My first geographical location to play soccer: Florida, born in Merritt Island, FL. and love to work up a good sweat in the warm weather.
Second Choice: South East - GA, SC, NC. Grew up in Georgia and know there are very good soccer schools in the SE region.
In closing, I would like to say that I am a very good, smart person, I enjoy team sports and I am dedicated in finding a school and Coach who can help me develop into a successful person, student and athlete.
