- 2022 Highlights #2
Personal Statement
Hi,
My name is Elisa Howard and I am a 2024 graduate at Jordan High School located in Fulshear, Texas. My primary positions for high school and my club-Dash Dynamo Youth GA2 are: the 2/3(right and Left outside back) and/or the 6 (defensive mid-field). With these positions, I am able to create opportunities for my teammates to counter-attack, finish in the final third and build up from the back. It also gives me the benefit of being able to see the whole field, which helps me with my communication with teammates. As a defensive player, I am very quick and motivated to win the ball back as well as being physical in any situation. I am always looking for opportunities to create angles for my teammates and find a way to effectively keep the ball. I have been told from various coaches that I am extremely coachable both during practice as well as on-the-fly during games. I like that I have been able to take the various coaching styles and apply them to my game. It was around the age of eight when I realized how passionate I was for soccer. My goal is to have soccer be part of my career. I love the communication with teammates, seeing where players are on the field, and making quick decisions. As a student athlete I am always trying to learn and get better at the game by watching others of all levels play. In the future, I am looking forward to attending a college with a strong academic focus, an active student life as well as a high level of competitive sports programs. My academic strengths are in science and math, and am considering pursuing an education in veterinary medicine. I have thoroughly enjoyed my soccer career - with all of the travel, competitiveness, and teambuilding. I hope to attend a school where I can contribute to the building of a championship level team.
