Personal Statement
My name is Ivan Farias-Martinez and I am from Los Angeles, CA. I am a 2020 graduate and I am an outside back/CB. I currently play for Boca Jrs Los Angeles 2002 USSDA. In the two years I've been in this club, we won Back to Back National Cup Champions (2018,19). I believe I am a great candidate for your school because I am hard working and very coachable. I put in a lot of time into extra training such as crossfit 3 times at 5am a week and I can't imagine my life without soccer. I have gotten awards such as Freshman Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year 2 times, Most Valuable Player 2x, President's Honor Roll 3 times, and Perfect Attendance. Not only am I a very technical and hardworking defender but also a great student. I have a 4.0 GPA and have been awarded many academic awards. In the summer of 2019, I was invited to the Galaxy Academy U19, where I played in the Silverlake International Summer Cup.
