Personal Statement
College soccer has been a dream of mine, but people say you'll never make it.That's my drive to push myself and prove them wrong. People say a Division 2 school for me is unrealistic and a Division 1 school impossible. I may not be the top player on my team but i have a determination work ethic, drive and defensive ability to back it up. College soccer is a dream of mine, I work towards it everyday. I know that I have the work ethic and determination to make that possible. I make sure I get touches on the ball everyday. Freshman year I played on our Freshmen soccer team but was brought up to play some JV games as well. Sophomore year I played JV and in two Varsity games. My junior year I have come off the bench and filled a need on our team at right outside midfield, I have played mostly as a defender up to this point on my high school and my club team. I'm athletic due to my training with a Mickey Scodova (professional kickboxing and boxing trainer), which gives me an advantage in my game. My passing and physical play as defender and midfielder are some of the strong points of my game, as well as my natural jumping ability and unmatched heading ability that has allowed me win about 99% of ball coming out of the air. In this area coaches say they have never seen someone throw their body at the ball just to win a header like me and, that no ones else has the defensive drive that I do. I will continue to work hard on my defensive skills and my ball control as well as my composure and plan to better myself. Since I have not yet chosen a preferred field of study, I haven't ruled out any colleges.
