Personal Statement
My name is Michael Kutter and I am a 6 foot 4 inch goalkeeper currently playing for United Futbol Academy's U17 ECNL team with Coach Robin Dixon while maintaining at 3.9 GPA at Pinecrest Academy. I have played at United Futbol Academy since I was 4 years old, playing in the UFA Development Academy from U13 - U15 and have played ECNL at the U17 level when the DA program was disbanded. I also play for my high school team Pinecrest Academy with Coach Dom Martelli. I have played goalkeeper nearly my entire soccer career and enjoy the position. My strengths are my command of the field and my understanding of the play in order to direct my teammates on the field to succeed. I am extremely vocal in my play and I am fearless in my protection of the goal. I am a strong leader both on and off the field and my friendships with the team help solidify my ability to lead them on the field. I am a hard-worker, always training extra to become stronger. I am very coachable and can quickly adapt to different coaching styles and translate the coaches' wants to the team during play. My goal is to play as a goalkeeper in college while pursuing a computer engineering degree.
