Personal Statement
Dear Coaches
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Karim Slim, Lebanese American Citizen, born in Kettering, Ohio 2005 and currently living with my parents in Beirut, Lebanon.
My plan is to move back to the US to get a proper education and degree in Sports Management or entrepreneurship and enhance my soccer’s skills by playing for a good team supervised by professional coaches. By doing so, I will be taking the first step in achieving my ultimate goal which is representing the US National Team at the WC 2026 after joining an MLS team upon graduation.
Your skills, know-how will for sure assist me in drawing a road map that will lead me and guide me to 2026 and beyond. I am a hard, well dedicated player with the passion for the game and a great listener and learners. By joining a good university, I will be able to get the degree I am aiming for and to develop my skills, and knowledge in the game.
In Lebanon I am being assessed as a great team player with great desire for winning and advancement. Not only my coaches view me like that but as well as most of the feedback from other coaches. My team won the 2022 Lebanese Championship for the age group 2004-2005 and in September, I will be starting a new competition: The Lebanese Championship for two groups, U19 and U20
Together with your guidance and my commitment we will be able to achieve great results. I will be touring colleges on July-August 2022.
