Personal Statement

Hi, my name is Ben Dunbar and I live in Carlsbad, CA. I will graduate from La Costa Canyon High School in May, and I am an extremely determined and dedicated individual. My goal on the field is to work hard with my teammates to create chances offensively, giving my team every opportunity to win. I’m looking to play for a competitive college program, and my experiences with my club team and my high school varsity team are preparing me for this next level.My primary goals for college are to play soccer and to graduate with a degree in the field of sports medicine, biological or exercise science, business or math. I look forward to becoming an essential part of a collegiate soccer team, as well as obtaining and thriving in my academic pursuits.
