2016 Highlights

Personal Statement

I plan on attending a 4 year college that will help me out financially. I intend to major in business, specifically in Finance or Real Estate. Maybe possibly even accounting. What makes me a good candidate is the amount of effort I put into each and single game. What makes me different from other recruits is that not every recruit is when its time to play I take it 100% serious and I feel not every person does that because they're usually daydreaming. In the field I'm a defender but I like to attack a lot as well. Many of the defenders don't like that about me but in order to score you need to have more men upfield. Academically I'm not the best, I sometimes struggle but I always put my best into it.

CF Pachuca
2/28/16 to 3/06/16
I went to Pachuca for some try outs. Unfortunately I didn't make it but it was a great experience and I learned on what I need to work on to be an even better player. I player last man, right middle, and right back. I wasn't at my top level due to the change in altitude but the coach that invited me to go try out said that I played good. Now I've been training to get to that level and to go back and try out again hopefully making it this time.

In our third game I was on the bench because the before I had gotten hurt and as soon as my coach put me in 15 minutes into the game I had already made two key plays. In one of those key plays there was a goal.
