2019 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I would like to find a college that is strong academically and has a quality soccer program. I possess strong personal drive; I strive to excel in any activity I'm involved in. I have a 4.04 GPA (4.0 scale), and I am in the top 10% of my class.
I possess the following athletic skills and attributes:
- Versatility: I can play a variety of positions including center back, outside back, defensive midfield, outside midfield, attacking midfield
- Field Vision: I can read the field extremely well.
- Good Sportsmanship: I am able to stay calm even under intense play.
- Stamina/Endurance: I regularly play the entire game in both soccer and basketball.
- Good Touch: I can trap or settle difficult played balls.
My coaches have made the following comments about my play:
- "Michael is regarded as the best defensive player in the conference." (Coach Zakchefski, Johnsburg Junior High School Soccer Coach)
- "I wish all players had Michael's heart." (Coach Hueman, Johnsburg High School Basketball Assistant Varsity Coach)
- "Michael has tenacity. He is the first freshman player to have a true impact on the varsity team." (Coach Rob Eastland, Johnsburg High School Varsity Head Coach)
