Personal Statement
The greatest compliment I've ever received by a coach is that I am the most coachable athlete he has ever met. It's been a running theme in my athletic career that I have unbridled grit and determination and listen closely to what my coach is telling me to improve my performance. I'm fortunate to have the support of my parents. Their willingness to take me to practice and support my academic and athletic goals have helped me to excel in soccer, swimming, waterpolo and running. What has become crystal clear to me is that soccer is the sport that I truly love. I enjoy being a leader both on and off the field and have learned to bring this character trait onto the pitch. I have a 3.8 GPA. I am also enrolled in all honors and AP courses and will continue to work diligently in both athletics and academics. I was blessed last summer to travel with a team to Spain to participate in several tournaments and experience the culture and camaraderie of international soccer. My ultimate goal is to play soccer at the collegiate level.
