2013-14 Highlights
2014 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My name is JB Baxter and I am a goalkeeper. Academics are a first priority when it comes to choosing the right college. That being ssaid, I want to receive the best education I can get while playing collegiate soccer.
A bit about me as a player. I believe if I don't give 100% then I am not getting better, and I always want to get better. As a goalkeeper, it is my responsibility to control my box and manage my defense in front of me. I am loud and I can read the field so I do this very well. I take pride in my technical ability and footwork. I am completely comfortable with playing with my feet. I am confident in my abilities but I am not cocky.
Now a bit about me as a person. I like helping others and I find volunteer work gratifying. When I am not playing soccer, I enjoy casual golfing, longboarding, and hanging out with friends. Unlike a lot of players, soccer is not my life, but it is my passion.
Thank you for your consideration.
