2023 HighlightsPersonal Statement
As a rising senior who has played soccer since the age of three, I hope my passion, skills, and dedication to the sport will allow me the chance to play college soccer. I want to be a team asset and an impact player for a proven soccer program. Commitment, team chemistry, sportsmanship, a desire to compete, athleticism, and speed are some of the prouder attributes that I bring to the field. Besides keeping my skills keen and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, academics have always been my focus. While balancing three sports (soccer, track, and basketball) and extracurriculars (Boy Scouts and Athletic Leadership Council), I have maintained a 4.0 GPA (4.14 cumulative / 4.33 weighted / 1300 SAT) with high honors in my classes. I am ready for the challenge of balancing collegiate sports and maintaining academic excellence.
