Personal Statement

I'm currently looking for a college or university in the states, ideally NCAA division 1 or 2 because those are the most competitive leagues and have good academic standards. I understand that I need to attend ID camps in order to get recruited because a highlight video does not show who I am as a player.

For my college career, I would suit a possession style of play or counter attacking style because of my position. Since I’m a holding midfielder, I will normally play one or two touches and try to dictate the tempo of the game. Although my right foot is my dominant foot, I am equally good with my left foot, good enough even my teammates are unsure whether I am right -footed or left-footed.

Finally, this soccer season (2019-20), I became a youth soccer referee, acting both as a center referee and as an assistant referee. This is pretty much my part-time job I've had for the past two years.
