Personal Statement
My goal is to play at the collegiate level, while also getting the education I need to succeed in life. Soccer has always appealed to me because I love the team aspect and the strategic nuances of the game. I am eager to play college soccer for the opportunity to be around like minded individuals that love the game and to receive an education to prepare me for life. Playing club soccer has prepared me to be responsible in academics with time management, respecting authority figures, and how to apply myself in all aspects to be well rounded in many disciplines. In soccer I am always striving to play at the highest levels and to challenge myself which has given me the confidence to do the same in school, like taking honors classes and succeeding which I probably would not have done without soccer. Having been blessed with terrific soccer coaches I have not only learned about the game, but life lessons that many teenagers fall for. Such as how to handle social media, take care of my body, and to understand what a blessing my opportunity is so that I won't make dumb decisions to jeopardize my soccer or college career. I know that with the opportunity to play college soccer you cannot do so without education so I must be disciplined in both aspects. I look forward to this challenge and forming a new family with my new soccer team.
