Personal Statement
Soccer has taught me many lessons as a person and in sport.The season that my team and I went to National Cup but got eliminated in the second round is one instance where I realized soccer is more than just a sport, it changed me physically and mentally. I learned that not everything is based on your physical skill on the field and that characteristics like character, intelligence, patience, and teamwork also comes into play. After taking these very important characteristics into account, my team and I went on to go all the way to semi- finals the very next season. This was the highlight of my soccer career because it showed me the value of many different characteristics other than just on-ball skills.
I would love to take part in a program that would suit me very well both on and off the pitch. I believe that I have the capability to make a big difference in your program because of my work ethic and character. I believe I have what it takes to compete at the college level, succeed, and make a difference for the team and the program as a whole!
