Derek Schaefer #5...
2019 UHigh Varsit...Personal Statement
I am a 5’11” attacking midfielder & wing from Bloomington, IL and will graduate in the class of 2021. I have been playing soccer since I was four years old. I have had the opportunity to play for soccer clubs in several different states which has exposed me to a variety of playing styles. This experience has helped me to become a strong and adaptable player.
I am known for my competitive drive and resilience as a leader on my team. I am very coachable and a role model for my teammates as well. Both on and off the field I work hard to achieve success.
I am looking for a college where I can continue to push myself both academically and athletically. I am open to all options and my goal is to find the right fit at the highest level of competition possible.
