Personal Statement
My name is Alexander "Wade" Martin. I am a junior at Northpoint Christian School in Southaven, MS. I play goalie and field for my competitive soccer team, Hernando Express, and I am the field goal/kickoff kicker for my high school football team. I have played soccer for as long as I can remember. It is my desire and passion to someday play at any division level beyond high school. Being a goalie holds a leadership role for me on the field. I can see things that my other teammates cannot. This allows me to be a part of the team nonstop even though I am in the backfield because I'm helping from a different view. I play this sport all throughout the year whether it is competitive soccer tournaments, indoor soccer games, practicing with my teammates, or just kicking a ball around the yard. I am very skilled when it comes to soccer and have every desire to better myself each time my foot touches a ball. My goal is to one day reach a higher, elite level of the game. I intend to push myself past my limits to make this happen along with the support of my family, teammates, coaches, mentors, and friends.
