2021 Highlights

Personal Statement

I look forward to the opportunity of playing soccer at the next level at a strong academic institution. I'm open to new opportunities, welcome constructive criticism, and work hard to implement the guidance my coaches give me. I am very grateful for my most recent club coach because he has helped me to develop into the player I am today and is preparing me for the next level. I acknowledge when my teammates do great things on and off the field because I have found that success is most enjoyable as a team.

I'm different from other recruits because of my work ethic and pursuit to compete and win. I'm getting touches on the ball on a daily basis, juggling whenever I can or training with my HS team/club team. I also work out at my local gym and do additional personal training (speed and weightlifting) 2-4 times a week. Academics are very important to me - I strive to take challenging classes and get a high GPA.
