Personal Statement
I have played soccer since I was 4 years old. I was not exposed at a young age with higher levels of skill. I grew up playing with kids who were out on the pitch just for fun. That is why I gave up on rec and tried out for Select Soccer in Altoona, IA. I have many aspirations of proving to coaches I have what it takes to be the right prospect. I have a great mindset when it comes to studying and athletics as well. I strive for a 4.0 GPA each year when taking higher level classes. Performing at higher standards is what I have done since day one. I am well rounded as I participate in music, Spanish Club, and NHS.
I work very well with the ball under my feet. I am more of a play maker and facilitator. Even though I haven't received the 'label' of a captain I serve as an outright leader in every sport I play. I play with players at my high school who have lesser abilities than my club teammates. However, I do not take a day off and I keep honing in my skills constantly to improve every day. I look forward to great opportunities and experiences my soccer career will offer.
