Personal Statement
My soccer goal is to be an impact player at the collegiate level. I want to use my athletic and academic abilities to earn a scholarship and attend a leading university, within a reasonable distance from home. I have played for a number of club teams including the top team at Sporting Omaha FC at my age. I was fortunate enough to be able to start almost every high school varsity game since my freshman year.
On the field, I pride myself on having excellent foot skills and the ability to distribute the ball extremely well. Not only am I fast on the field, but with my work at the Innovative Strength and Conditioning I hope to continue to increase my speed and strength as I develop as a player. I can also dribble, pass, and shoot equally well with both feet. I every situation on the field, I strive to do my best. Leadership roles have followed me on and off the field my entire life; I have been elected captain on a number of teams, and was nominated to the Leadership academy from the teachers at my school. I strive to do my best no matter the situation. These are the qualities that I will bring to the collegiate level.
As a student, I’ve made the All A honor roll all quarters. My aspirations are to pursue a degree in Sports Medicine, Coaching or Physical Therapy, fields which include working with high level athletes.
I work hard to push my teammates to be better and in turn become better myself everyday. I was fortunate enough to help my team to reach the state tournament in 2016, my sophomore year, a feat which has only be accomplished twice in school history. My freshmen year we missed our chance in a double overtime shootout. I hope to someday use my skills and attributes to assist my collegiate team to a championship.
