Personal Statement
From a very early age, I have excelled in competitive sports. In addition to soccer, I have also achieved success from other organized sports including baseball, volleyball, and basketball. Last year, I enjoyed having the opportunity to coach a team of my friends to a championship in a competitive park district high school basketball league. This coaching experience enhanced my understanding of sports and increased my drive to become an even better athlete. I organized the team and coached a group of good athletes with strong personalities. This coaching opportunity also gave me additional skills I found useful as captain of my varsity soccer team and as goalkeeper for an inexperienced defensive line.
As the youngest of three athletic brothers, I have always had to compete to keep up with their level and strive to be better. Learning from them and continuing that path, my goal in high school has been to be at the top of my game both academically and as a student-athlete. I am confident that I will remain committed to these goals throughout my college career.
I know my character, confidence, work ethic, and leadership skills would be the right fit for any school's program. In addition to being my team's captain, I have already qualified for USSFL "National D” Coaching License, organized basketball tournaments, and coach middle school athletes.
