Personal Statement
I would like to find a school where I can explore and discover my path to a fulfilling career, while playing competitive soccer on a team with similar values.
I will be ready to play immediately because I have been playing year round since grade school, and have been training year round too. Also, I have been able to easily connect with all different types of players, especially evident when I was selected for elite and / or MRL teams that were created from wide pools of talent for tournament play. On those teams, I played with kids from all around the country, and we needed to connect quickly in order to play well. I am a versatile player, able to play defensive and attacking positions as requested by the coach or required by the game. I am also a team player who is not selfish, works hard and is a good leader. I have been playing soccer since I was four years old, and have a natural understanding of the game. Not playing college soccer has never been a thought that's gone through my head.
I would describe my character as honest, considerate, responsible and reliable.
Some athletic traits that help me on the field are quickness, agility, thinking quickly under pressure, perception of the whole game, tenacity and high endurance. My versatility allows me to affect the game either as a goal scorer or defender.
I have always taken academics seriously, and will continue to work hard and stay committed to my education.
