2024 Fall - 2025 ...
2023 U14 ClipsSpring Start 2024...Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Liam Topolewski and I am entering 9th grade now. I signed with Michigan Burn for the 2025 winter and spring season and I will be playing Varsity soccer in the fall for Yale High School. I finished my 2023-2024 MYSL (Michigan Youth Soccer Leauge) in the fall. I captained my team to a 2nd place finish with 20 goals and 8 assists finishing with 6 wins and 2 losses. Then in the spring season I captained my former club Storm 161 to an invincible first place finish with 6 wins and 2 draws. I scored 18 goals and had 15 assists. I am able anticipate where the ball will be passed to. I am not greedy and I am able to play balls down the wing. My academics are also good. I hold a 4.0 out of 4.0 GPA. I won the Ted Stein award - the highest academic honor at my school. Some things that would make me a good candidate for your team: I am respectful to the coaches, I always want to help out when I can, I am at the field training or at the track working on my endurance or sprint speed, I always listen to what the coaches have to say and try to implement them whenever I can. This makes me easily coachable. I try to stay away from sweets and things that would keep me from being match fit. Finally, I have a strong mentality and don't get nervous whenever I step up to the penalty spot or when I am one on one with the keeper. I hope to hear from you soon so that further discuss my skills and abilities.
