Personal Statement
A growth mindset is my driving principle! I was always the underdog on my older brother’s team. I had to work twice as hard to keep up with my teammates who were 2 years older. Learning how to walk through adversity has allowed me to soar academically and athletically. I work tirelessly to carry a 4.0 GPA in a rigorous academic program and maintain my starting position on a top tier high school soccer program.
Playing soccer internationally was a highlight of my soccer experiences. I was afforded the opportunity to play soccer against a group of my peers in Rome, Italy. After several weeks of play, my team ended with an undefeated record and a championship trophy. The international experience taught me that the pitch is an equalizer where nothing matters but teamwork, training, and tenacity. It is a life lesson I will never forget.
I am looking for a program that is an academic and athletic fit. I believe I not only have the talent to compete at the collegiate level, but I have grit, character, leadership skills, and academic prowess to make a positive impact on your soccer program.
I welcome the opportunity to show you I will be an asset to your team.
