Personal Statement
Growing up ever since I was young, athletics and education has always been a big part of my life. I’ve played multiple sports as a young kid and mostly played basketball and soccer. I am a successful student-athlete. I know how to be organized and balance my time between academics and playing high school and club sports, and what it takes to be successful in both areas. I have a 3.73 GPA and I plan to major in Engineering. My goal is to get a college degree and play soccer for a school of any size with both high level of education and good soccer program.
As I continue to grow both physically and mentally, I believe I would be a great asset to my school and soccer team in college. I have a high work rate on and off the field, as I put my best effort on everything I do. A few changes and experiences have been part of my growth as a player. I had to move up to the older age group from U12 to U14 during the birth date transition, which meant I would need play with a new team of older players and play a different position (right back) initially while trying to earn a starting spot. I have played as a center back and left/right back for my high school varsity team and club team. Playing the multiple defender positions helped me learn to apply my skills, adjust my play, and my understanding of the game to be a better player overall and to help my team succeed.
I'm a team player and I communicate well to help the team in attacking and defending. Having good field vision, anticipation, awareness, technical skills, and high soccer IQ are some of my characteristics as a soccer player. I’m confident, tenacious, and very coachable. I am able to listen to my coaches and apply their directions in my play. I appreciate and have great respect for my coaches and teammates. Based on my experiences playing soccer (and basketball) for my club and high school teams, I’m able to fit and adapt to the team environment and get along well with my teammates and coaches on and off the field. I look forward to being a successful student-athlete in college. Thank you for viewing my profile. Please contact me via email [email protected], or text/call at 517-899-7030.
