Personal Statement
I have been playing soccer my entire life. While I try to maintain a balance in my life with horse riding, volunteer work with a therapeutic riding program, and school clubs, my true passion in life is soccer. If I am not on the field practicing I am helping with young children's soccer clinics or working as a referee. For many years, I played as a midfielder and forward. The last several years, I have focused on goalkeeping although I supplement this with occasional fieldplayer clinics and some limited field playing time when my team needs me. Besides the keeper coaching with my premier and ODP club, I also have a private coach and I spend my summers at goalkeeper specific camps (ID College camps, Region One ODP camp and SoccerPlus ANTC), playing overseas or playing summer tournaments.
Every day, I strive to be a leader on and off the field. I am very proud that my coaches have frequently complimented me on my coachability, fearlessness on the field, field leadership and work ethic. I also have very high academic standards for myself. It is my dream to attend college where I can be challenged on both the soccer field and in the classroom...someplace that I will be proud to call "home."
