Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Matteo Kucinic and I attend Clarkson Secondary School in Canada, where I participate in the Football North Prep Academy. I am a 6'4", 280lbs athlete who has a passion for the great game of football. I live in the weight room or film room, when I am not studying to maintain my academic average.
Athletic attributes that you, as a prospective coach, will see in me are:
- Toughness & Domination on field
- Good Size and room to grow still
- Intelligent and quick thinking
- Flexibility
- Great Footwork
I have been the starting Center at Football North ever since I joined the team in my sophomore season. That season was the highlight of my whole football career, and playing against America's top competition was a remarkable milestone in my life. We played teams such as LaSalle, Wyoming Seminary, and St. Francis De Salles. My team finished the season 4-5. It was a tremendous accomplishment considering that our team had only practiced together for two months. I am counting down the days for next season, as we will be competing against a few of America's top 30 teams, including Wayne, St. Xavier, Pickerington North, Cleveland Heights and St. Ignatius. I always strive to be the best player I can be, to put my team in a better position to win and succeed. I have a great interpersonal skills, and get along well with all types of people. Outside of my passion for football, friends, and family are very important to me.
