Personal Statement
My name is Samuel Anderson, I am a 2018 graduate of Urban Assembly Gateway School for Technology located in New York City. I am 5"9"and I weigh 135 pounds. Soccer has always played a great role in my life, and I want to continue to develop in soccer while pursuing my professional goals. I have been playing soccer since the age of 8, I have played soccer for 10 years through school and at the club level. I truly love the sport and nothing pleases me more than to compete on the pitch. I've learned and progressed considerably since the age of 8 by playing for my local soccer club and school. Learning to balance sports and academics have been important in high school. Sports are time consuming, but playing gives me focus. My goal is to play soccer in college. I am a dedicated and hard working person who is committed to embracing all the work that is required to become the best center-back/right-back that I can be. I want to attend a college with a strong soccer program, with an emphasis on academics, which will prepare me for success outside of soccer. I look forward to the challenge of finding the right fit and playing soccer at a high level, while pursuing my degree in Sports Management specializing in international soccer.
