Personal Statement
My name is Sam Marks. I attend Boyertown High School and will graduate in 2017. My goal is to attend college and to play soccer at the college level. Academically, I will be entering my junior year taking all honors and AP courses. I achieve high grades and my current overall weighted GPA is a 4.22. On and off the field, I work hard to improve myself as a player and student. Athletically, I possess excellent foot skills and ball control. I am 6' 3" and weigh 180 pounds. This allows me to win physical challenges both on the ground and in the air. I am very committed and dedicated to being an outstanding student and soccer player.
My current club is Lehigh Valley United (LVU). LVU is ranked 3rd in PA East, 13th in Region 1 and 20th Nationally. In June 2015, LVU were EDP Cup Champions.
My previous club team FC Elite, had a record of 16-2-2 and was ranked 15th in PA East. In 2014, FC Elite accomplished the following:
Pocono Cup 2014 Premier [Boys] - Semi-Finalist

Red Rose Classic - Champion
Nether United Spring Invitational Powered by Adidas - Champion
FC EUROPA TURF CUP - Boys Weekend - Champion
I played JVs as a freshman at Boyertown and was rostered with varsity for the post season and was double-rostered for both JV and varsity as a sophomore. In 2014, the JV squad had 73 goals for and 9 against. At the varsity level, we were PAC 10 finalists and made it to district playoffs.
