Personal Statement
I have played soccer since I was 5 years old, so I have grown to understand the game very well. I am a tall and strong center back. Having played defense most of my soccer career, I can read the game very well. Although I have mostly played a defensive role, I am adaptable and willing to learn and support my team in other positions on the field. I pride myself in being respectful to others on and off the field. I love to have a bit of fun with the guys, but know when to shut it down when needed. I always do my best to stay positive and encourage my teammates. I strive to be a leader of my team and do my best to communicate with others. I value my education and know that I need to do my best to be successful later in life. I am dedicated to the sport and developing as a player. For the last three years I have driven 5 hours round trip to Kansas City to practice 2-4 times a week, which shows my commitment and dedication to the sport, and to my team. When opportunities for growth and development have presented themselves, I have taken advantage of those opportunities to grow and become better. To have the opportunity to play division one soccer and develop even further, would be a dream that I would be honored to participate in.
