Personal Statement
I have been playing soccer since 5 years old and have loved every minute! I have always played forward and because of my speed, (run a 12.2 100m) I am an impact player. I am able to beat the defense and take the ball to the goal and either score or send a cross in front of the goal to my team mates. I pride myself on having speed of play & heads up ball with one touch passes. When I am in the game, the opposing coach and players can be heard yelling "watch #2". I was a leading team and conference scorer my Junior year, receiving 1st team All League (6A Metro) and 2nd team All State (6A Oregon) honors. I work year round at fitness in a variety of ways (personal training/track & field) and have a lot stamina which allows me to play at full throttle. I pay close attention to instructions from my coach and always give 100% effort. I am excited at the prospect of playing soccer in college and hope to use my athletic ability to propel me through academics, which I struggle with because of a learning disability.
