Personal Statement
My goal is to gain a college education while in my soccer pursuit. I plan to immerse myself into playing soccer as I work toward my academic interests. I plan to focus on the medical, nutrition, and sports related rehabilitation fields. I also plan to play soccer and continue growing to the highest level.
I am an extremely hard-working athlete and academic student. I have always been known to be the hardest worker during practices, games, and weight training, practising three to four hours a day. I pride myself in leading by example and helping others to do the same. I take health seriously and am constantly working on injury prevention and nutrition. I have always maintained high grades in school and achieved my Eagle Scout rank in scouting as a senior. I am also an applicant for the National Honor Society. Throughout high school, I have received many compliments from my school instructors regarding my friendliness, attitude, and effort. I plan to keep the same into my college education and soccer career.
I've shown perseverance and desire to play the game. Given the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and periodic suspension(s) of High School Soccer in my district this year, I tried out for, and was accepted on the Oklahoma Energy Boys 03 ECNL team. This gave me superior coaching and training at a level that will better prepare me for college.
I enjoy spending time working with other players in the greater Kansas City area, including college and professionals of all nationalities in 5 a side pickup games at a downtown indoor soccer field “The Soccer Lot”. I have enjoyed meeting people from all ages around the world and making friends there. I’ve also travelled to Spain and England where I was offered positions on two separate Professional Division II team academies. I am serious about my future soccer career and obtaining education that will enable me to carry on afterwards. I am ready for the next level! I also work coaching three youth recreation soccer teams.
