Westlake Demons v...Personal Statement
Hi Coach,
Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I’m confident you will see I'm a serious student and athlete. I'm looking to excel both in the classroom and in the box. I have a strong academic work ethic - having balanced the rigors of goalkeeping for my High School JV and Varsity soccer teams in the Summer and Fall; MRL Club Soccer team, CSA Impact Black, in the Winter and Spring, and Varsity Singles and Doubles Tennis in the Spring as well; all while maintaining a 4.2 cum GPA in Honors, Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate classes.
I've been playing soccer for over 12 years - the last 10 as goalkeeper - in Rec, Travel, High School and MRL Club programs. I participate in individual goalkeeper training, high school development camps and MRL Club soccer tournaments. I've competed in several Adidas National Showcase events, Ohio SWC Playoffs and Club State Cup tournaments. This year I also attended the NE Ohio College Showcase Tournament and Combine, CSA Parker Classic, Premier Soccer Camp at Edinboro University and Adidas National Soccer Showcase.
I try to lead by example, so I'm also a focused student off the field - academics are extremely important to me. I feel my strongest academic accomplishment to date was earning a 33 on my ACT test. Right I'm starting goalkeeper in a challenging High School Varsity Soccer schedule - we lost 7 seniors from our last year's SWC Champion Winning team and 3 key players to injury this year, but I'm still looking to be a contender for All Conference and a leader in saves.
I'm eager to bring value to your soccer program and prepared to hit the field as a dedicated member of the team. Thank you again for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
Darin J. O'Meara
