2020 Highlights
U17 MLS Next • Fa...Personal Statement
My name is Tyler Matuzak. I attend Dakota High School in Macomb, Michigan (Graduation Year: 2024). My goal is to continue to play soccer at the highest level possible and to keep improving my skills.
I started playing soccer at age 3 and made the jump to travel/club soccer, joining Vardar at age 8. I've been a member of Vardar's US Soccer Development Academy (U12 - U14) and the MLS Next Academy team (U15 - U19).
I was selected to represent the East Conference in the MLS Next U15/U16 Best of Matches in both Frisco, TX (June 2021) and Norco, CA (December 2021). I was also invited twice to the US YNT Regional ID Camp for 2006 Boys in September 2019 (Obetz, OH) and May 2021 (Indianapolis, IN), and voted Team Co-Captain by my U17 teammates (2023).
My coaches and teachers will say that I am hard working, driven, a great teammate, and an excellent kid who is full of energy. I work as hard in the classroom, as I do on the field. I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family and my two dogs.
I have several highlight videos if you're interested: my YouTube Channel is M Matuzak.
Thank you for viewing my personal statement!
