Although I don't have the longest history playing soccer, my ability to listen, learn, and improve quickly is what I feel like will bring me to the next level. After playing club soccer for only a year, through constant training and dedication to the sport, I had solidified my spot as a starter on a team ranked top 15 in the nation on GotSoccer. I know that my best trait is realizing what I need to improve on, and using that as further determination to get better. Another thing that I believe helps me stand out is the role academics have in my life. Being the smartest both off and on the pitch is something I strive for, as in my opinion, 90% of the game is mental, not physical. Therefore, the importance I place on my intellectual ability will always be something that is a top priority to me.
