Personal Statement
I have been playing soccer since kindergarten starting as a recreational player on my local church team and moved to completive club soccer in 4th Grade. I started as a field player developing my foot skills and field awareness eventually settling into the role of a defender with my club team. In 6th grade I accidentally fell in love with the position of goalkeeper as our normal keeper was sick and I volunteered to fill in for a game. That game ended up being the most difficult and stressful experience of my short soccer "career", but it was the most fun I had ever had while playing and it turned me into a keeper for life. From that day forward I have dedicated my training and development to improving and learning the keeper position.
