Personal Statement
My passion and dedication for soccer drives my parents insane. I am so dedicated that you will find me in the winter shoveling snow in my backyard so I can work on my goalkeeper skills. I take pride in working harder than my opponents, and as a captain of my team I am trying to lead by example. My goal is to play soccer in college, and I am willing to put in the time and effort to reach my goal.
I’ve been the full-time goalkeeper for my team since I was eight. From this time I’ve received specific goalkeeper training along with my team training. In addition to this I have done speed and agility training and extra goalkeeper training outside club training. As a result of this extra effort, I have become the top goalkeeper in my club’s age group.
Aside from athletics, I have won the “Good Conductor” award for my leadership skills. My teachers and classmates selected me for the award. I also have a great study habit and am able to maintain a high GPA and good grades in all my classes. As I look forward to college, I want to study to become a middle school math teacher. I have always been interested in math and have enjoyed working with younger kids.
