Dear Coach,
I'm Alexandre Bertholon, a dedicated athlete born in 2007. My desire to play football at the college level is immense. I currently play as a winger/striker for my club but central midfielder for my varsity team, for which I am the captain. I am a very versatile player and can play multiple positions. As a Center Midfield in my varsity team, I play a crucial role in both the attack and defense as I am able to support all my players. Whereas when I play Winger for my club I have more freedom in the final third to express my creativity and use my confidence to beat the defender and go through on goal.
As a player, listening to my coach's instructions and improving my game every time I step on the field is important to me. The strengths I possess as a player are my speed, technical ability, passing accuracy short and long balls, first touch, and shooting ability. Furthermore, my coach shared with me that I have a highly developed vision of the game with a very good awareness of my teammates and opposition's positions, and see spaces for good passing, crossing and through-balls, also considering that I have been playing in elite football academy and club for 10 years.
Outside of football I would love to pursue a Bachelor's degree in sports management and later in the future be able to still work around the athletics community as a athletic director, a coach etc. As a student-athlete, I comprehend the importance of academics and will prioritize my studies in order to keep my grades up.
Thank you for taking the time to read my personal statement.
