Personal Statement
Ever since I started playing soccer at the age of three, I fell in love with the game. By the age of eight I tried playing as a goalkeeper. After a season of playing as a goalkeeper, I decided I really liked the position. That year my parents signed me up for the Riverhounds goalkeeper training. At the age of 10 I started playing cup soccer for century united. As soccer became more intense and competitive I realized I wanted to take it to the next level and play in college. I continued to work on my skills as I continued to play cup and train with the Western Pennsylvania Olympic Development Program. In the summer of 2015 I decided to try out for the Riverhounds Academy team. I played with the Riverhounds for the 15-16 season and the 16-17 season.
This year, for the 2017-2018 season I decided to switch teams. Playing for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds for the past two years has been a great experience, but unfortunately I did not think it was the right team for me anymore to accomplish my desired goals for the future. I am beyond excited to start with my new team, Northern Steel 00, and see how this season goes. Outside of soccer I push myself to maintain good grades and a 4.0 GPA. I am looking forward to finding a college that will help push me on the field and help me succeed academically.
