Personal Statement
My Name is Dhanuk Lal, I currently play for PDA Kaka blue U17 and Millburn Highschool. I have played in Singapore for 8 years with Arsenal soccer schools and AC Milan soccer schools. Moving to the states in 2016 really boosted my confidence as it has really opened up my opportunities. As a player, I am very hardworking and am constantly looking to improve, I build strong relationships with my teammates and coaches, this allows me to be a coachable player that prioritizes his team. Since the age of 7, I've had a lot of international exposure and have experienced many different playing styles, allowing me to grow as a player. In 2014 and 2015 I attended Gothia Cup, the world youth tournament representing Singapore and Arsenal soccer schools. I have also played many regional tournaments in Asia with AC Milan and Arsenal soccer schools. This exposure has really allowed me to grow and develop as a player as well as add to the field. I am an academic student that works hard in the classroom to maintain a high GPA. I am extremely serious about my health and fitness and anything else that could affect my game on the field. I am looking to play soccer at the collegiate level and believe that I have the potential and the desire to become a professional athlete.
