Kwame Nketia '20 Recruiting Profile

My aim to is be a household name in my respective field of study and sport.

I aspire to do my utmost best and try my hardest for the team and for myself as a whole.

In reference to soccer, I may not be the fastest or jump the highest but if I get the ball at my feet guarantee I will put it in the net.

I use my size and balance to bully defenders and get through to finish the ball well.

I have worked on my stamina so don't think my size will hold me back from a full 90 minutes of play.

My greatest attributes in soccer would be; long passing, timed finishing in and around the box, long shots and leadership.

When I step on the field and my teammates are under performing I feel like I bring a certain vibe that gets us going.

The last soccer competition my school competed in I did not play a single minute as we had a far better striker, however I did not feel bad because even superstars like Messi and Ronaldo grace the bench sometimes.  

Instead I was the official hype man and prayer warrior for my boys before and in between halves. We were down 2-0 at the half but right after my speech we pushed to equalize and won the game on penalties!

All in all I realize that my academics have not always been the best and there is no excuse for that but given the chance I can excel in academics and in sport.

Thank you for your consideration!
