Personal Statement
Soccer has influenced my athletic life in many ways and has provided me the values of character, perseverance and leadership. I have played this sport since my young age and it has been an essential piece in my development as a student-athlete. I have learned many lessons on the field, but also off the playing ground. It takes much responsibility from me to keep my excellent grades in school and complement it with soccer training and games.
I overcame many obstacles such as distance and short study time to be where I am now considering that it's a long drive from where I live to where my practices and league games take place. Also, serving as a captain for my team is no easy task because I have to lead the team and be aware that every player is giving their best on the field. My positive mindset and desires to never give up are always expressed in the playing field. My goals for the near future is to graduate with high honors from my school and pursue a major in Business along with playing soccer in a college level. I truly believe that I possess the potential to make an effective impact on your program.
