Personal Statement
My name is William Forman. I am currently 16-year-old Junior attending Saint John Vianney High School in Matawan, New Jersey. Since I was 7-years old I played soccer and have had the privilege for many of those years of being part of an elite academy associated with Tab Ramos (hall of fame soccer player and current assistant coach of the USA soccer team). This provided me with the foundation for discipline, training, endurance and team building attitude. I was privileged to have the opportunities to play soccer all around the world.
In my freshman year of high school the football coach was informed by my friends that he should approach me as I have a strong athletic ability and strong leg. From that first meeting to a couple of sessions watching me kick field goals with distance and accuracy he was hooked and so was I. I was not able to play football in my sophomore year as I chose to play soccer. Last year with my friends/teammates encouragement I return to football and we went to the state semi-finals.
My aspiration are to find a collegiate opportunity that meets both my academic and athletic goals. Football kickers are a dime a dozen so to separate myself from other candidates for the same position I strive to hone my distance and accuracy skills. I want to bring pride to my team and college.
Academic excellence is another important aspect of my collegiate focus. My academic focus is marketing and business. This broad sector of the marketplace provides many opportunities in an array of businesses, including sports management.
My desire though is to play football well enough in college and to have further opportunities. How I achieve this is through hard work and dedication on and off the field.
There is no “I” in the word “TEAM”. Being able to show up at each practice, at each strategy/video session, at each game and give it my all for myself and the team is how I choose to lead my life. I see how hard my parents work to provide me with opportunities and recognize their sacrifices for me.
It is with the utmost sincerity and conviction that I invite you to review my profile and videos in the hopes that you can provide me with an opportunity to personally prove myself both academically and athletically.
Sincerely,
William Forman
