Personal Statement
I am Aidan Hughes a 17 year old goalkeeper from Rochester, IL. I am Junior and have played soccer since age 4. I play competitively for SLSG which is over an hour from my home. This is my 5th year playing for SLSG. I travel 3-5 times a week for practices and games. I do not mind the two hour round trip for practices several times a week because it is worth it to me to get the best training available. My passion and love for the game and my desire to excel and improve, push me to a want to play at the highest level. I aim to play the highest level of the sport I can. I play for a team of players who are from all over and we come together to play our best. I have a job as a goalkeeper to be the leader on the field and direct and control my team. I am highly vocal and have no problem coming into a new team and being the leader and telling my older teammates what to do. I have never been shy on or off the pitch. I work as hard as I do on the field as I do in school. My grades are very important to me. I spend my free time either at home studying or in the gym or on the pitch training. Some players dread having to go to practice or train, but I live for it.
