Personal Statement
My inspiration for contiuning beyond high school and club soccer is the "love I have for the game." My goals and time are spent continouly on the field, in training, and attending skill camps. I have been playing soccer for 9 years. Through coach evaluations I have been highly evaluated for coachability, determination, fast speed, extremely strong ball and attacking skills. My number one mental drive is to "score." My crossing skills and eye for the game has been rated excellent. I am universal in all forward and mid forward positions. I have also played in defence when needed. I feel I am an excellent team player and leader. I have lead my Division 1 team and high school JV and Varsity team to many important wins.
In addition my acedemic/athletic drive comes from being a high acheiver in my acedimics and my personality to drive to be successful in whatever I do which includeds taking challenging classes.
I find my self always saying, "soccer is my life." Some of my mentors are Alex Morgan next to Mia Hamm!
I am still in the process of deciding where I belong professionally in a career. Interest have envolved around animal medicine, pre med, special education teacher or using my love for art to be a fashion designer in Paris! Whatever I choose I would like to be successful and make lots of money!
Finally, I think I would make an excellent canidate for any division team and will be able to hold to acedemic standards. My goal is to play for a competitive college that will challege me to even a higher level. A skilled coach that loves the game as much as I do is a huge priority to me in making me successful and continuing my love for the game.
Thanks for your consideration,
