Personal Statement

I am looking for a college where I can go to grad school and play soccer. I played two years at the University of West Alabama and I am going into my second year at Johnson University. Im studying Sports and Fitness Leadership as well as Bible and Theology. For grad school I would love to do something involving sports, I am not quite sure about the exact major. I'm a hard worker who tries to put others before me and a very hard work ethic off the field and in the classroom.

You worked hard and was focused on improvement. Your hard work will prepare you for opportunity to come. Fitness 5, Speed/quickness 4, Strength 5 Comments: One has the physical attributes to succeed at being a keeper. I witnessed several quick reaction saves on Monday and Tuesday. Could work on your flexibility. Technique: Handling 4, shot stopping /diving 3, lvl's 3, distribution (kicking/throwing) 4. Strong foot pay with your defenders.Think legs closer together in stance. Good hands! Gave up few rebounds. Work to use hands first not chest when diving. Work to use upper knee to pull your hips up. I still see roll and dive on your stomach. Stay on your side to better control the ball and keep a stronger barrier. Tactics Decision making (crosses and thru balls) 4, Positioning 4, Distribution 4, Communication 4 Good week of camp. Strong keeper. Pay attention to the detail. Make what you were shown in the week a part of a repetitive warm up or practice routine.
