Personal Statement
Soccer has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. The sport has taught me many valuable lessons: teamwork, leadership, mental strength, and most importantly, perseverance. In 2016, as a Sophomore in high school, I represented Alabama ODP State Team at Region III Camp, but did not make the Region Pool or Region Team. I went home disappointed but highly motivated. I trained hard the following year, and went back in the summer of 2017. I made the Region Pool and the Region Team. My State Team Coach said he felt that I was the most improved player of the year.
I am a serious soccer player and I thrive in a professional soccer environment. I am looking for a program that will challenge me athletically and academically. I am ready to develop to the next level, as a soccer player and scholar.
