- 2017 Highlights
Personal Statement
To begin , my name is Esteban Barba and I am currently entering Junior Year at New Haven High School in New Haven, MI.
Personally, I think I would be not only a good but a great candidate for a College Soccer team for many reasons . The reason for this is I am a leader in the school being in the honor society while also being honor society president and being in my schools athletic leadership program. I am very well respected by my peers and teachers and am personally liked throughout the school among adults and students.
I think what makes me different is academics and how I do in school definitely stands out and shows that I put an effort in all that I do and I constantly strive and push to be the best version of myself not just in soccer but academically and in general. I was the Captain of three of our schools sport teams which shows my coaches trust me to not only to lead myself but to lead and push my team to be the best they can be and give everything I have in order to be successful.
Athletically I would say I am definitely a step above the rest with players my age.One thing that I have that has caught the attention of several coaches and players of the opposing team is my ability to throw the ball. I can throw it approximately 30 to 45 yards and can make spot on passes . I also have a great leg being able to drop kick the ball 50-65 yards and have had several assist due to this. Freshmen year I had 10 shutouts in 16 games and made a big jump with 13 shutouts in 17 games with two of those coming in our district games. I also thrive in big moments since I saved 4 out of 7 penalties shot on me with two coming in both the semi-final and the finals game in which I had 15 saves also which helped us secure a District Title
