Personal Statement
I'm interested and motivated to aggressively pursue academics and athletics (soccer) equally. I train relentlessly every-day both technically and conditioning-wise, while keeping the "big picture" in mind by focusing on academics. Also, I am constantly challenging myself and adapting to new surroundings, as I've moved from Charleston, SC - to Wilmington, NC - to Orlando, FL. So adaptability is something I pride myself on and embrace as I've had to prove myself and "start-over" multiple times with new schools, teams, etc. Currently, I am playing at a MLS Academy in Orlando, and want to continue to push myself and my teammates. In my free time, I am volunteering at Habitat for Humanity and starting my own skills training academy - theplayeracademy on Instagram. I also train and run cross country (15:46 5k time) to stay in shape for soccer. My days usually start at 5:00 a.m. with a 6-7 mile training run, then I do a 2 hour soccer session, then lift weights in the evening. I started training with my younger brother earlier this summer, and it has expanded into 15 players (mostly D1 or semi-professional) after we started inviting others.
