Personal Statement
My goal would be to play college soccer at the highest level with the best team. While doing so, I would love to study psychology, which would help as a pre-requisite for med school.
I would be a great candidate because I'm a team player. I put the team first and never have that "superhero" mentality. I believe when 11 players on the pitch work together at the top of their game, they can beat anyone. Also, my ability to accept and utilize the critiques and advice from coaches and players helps me improve my game. I can adapt to any situation and any style of play.
As for as makes me different from other recruits, I would say everything. I'm on a different level: my passion, my hunger, my drive. It surpasses that of everyone. I train like a professional with professionals. I wake up Monday-Friday 5:45AM and train until 7AM. Whether it's running or technical work, I push myself until I can physically go no more. My mental toughness, is beyond that of others. I train again at night with Bruno Kalonji and his Pro-Profile team, which have won national championships in UPSL and US Youth Soccer. Many of them have gone on to play pro in Europe. Blessed to be in this environment, I've increased my speed of play, strength. techincal ability, and all other aspects of my game.
Academics are a very important part of my life. I've always loved to learn and soak in information. I graduated high school early with a 4.0 GPA taking mostly Honors classes and 3 AP Classes. I averaged mostly A's.
