Personal Statement
After completing 1.5 years at the University of New Haven, playing center attacking mid, I accepted an invitation to play for the Steven Gerrard Academy in the UK (https://stevengerrardacademy.com). I knew this would give me the chance to play with top athletes from around the world, work with top coaches and both accelerate my game and sharpen my skills. But it also came with challenges, mainly I had work with the Dean of the Business School to arrange all my Spring classes remotely and asynchronously.
At Steven Gerrard, I train daily, often 2x a day and am playing at least 2x a week in highly competitive games, serving mainly as 6, 8, and defensive mid. I have 2x been named Man of the Match by analysts watching our games, am frequently called up to play with the U-23s, and play all or most of the game.
I have three full years of eligibility and am open to transferring to another university. I have posted on the NCAA portal.
I believe that my drive, commitment to the game, work ethic, and growing skills will make me a strong addition to any competitive program. I am up for the next opportunity.
