Personal Statement
Goals and Aspirations
Since I was 4, I loved the game of soccer. I have played baseball, football and run track, but I have an absolute love for the game of soccer. I am undecided in my future career as of now. I believe that soccer will help me reach my goals and with my coaches and trainers help I will improve my game., possibly playing in the MLS.
The most important part of soccer is teamwork. My first year of high school I made the Varsity soccer team. I knew as a freshman I had to build relationships with my upperclassmen teammates to be successful. I was able to achieve a balance of goals and assists as a starting outside mid. I achieved the highest amount of assists on the team and the second highest amount of goals behind our striker. If my coach would need me in another position I rose to the challenge. I have played every position with the exception of Keeper. I excel at striker, outside mid and defense. I was 1 of 4 nominated for the player of the year of our county. Our team won Districts for the first time in history during this season.
I have been traveling since I was 12, an hour each way approximately 5 days a week, for my own personal knowledge and training of the game. Even during high school season, I practiced with the high school team 5 days a week and then did my personal training at The Next Level 4 days a week. I was able to balance my studies and my soccer. My sophomore year I decided to train with the Vardar Academy team and focus more on my studies. With doing this, I chose not to play high school soccer for the 2015 season.
