Personal Statement

I have had the opportunity to play on two amazing teams. As a sophomore I was able to win a state championship with my Midwest United Royal team (ranked #1 in Michigan) and advanced to the regional finals. I was also able win a conference title, district title and advanced to the regional finals with my Holland Christian High School team (ranked #1 in division three).

My collegiate goal for the future is to be able to use my athletic and academic gifts to pursue the highest level of soccer while pursuing a great education.

I believe that my extreme work rate, competitiveness, attitude and physicality set the tone for the entire team. My vision on the field, creativity and knowledge of the game helps create many opportunities and chances.

Soccer is a game that continues to develop my character and helps me become a better person, which why I love the game so much! Soccer to me is so much more than just playing the game, it is a way of life!
