Personal Statement

My name is Derek Polanco. I am currently a sophomore at the Delbarton School. I have spent four years from u12 to u15 at Redbulls academy. Through Redbulls academy I was selected to take part in the Mls ESP Adidas camp which is a very selective camp that takes place every year. In addition, I was able to play in an overseas tournament with the Redbulls academy in Salzburg where I played against Benfica and Bayern Munich. I am currently a two-year varsity player at Delbarton where I have won a state championship and two county championships and I currently play with PDA academy on the u16 team. I am dedicated both on and off the field and take my academics just as seriously as my development in soccer. My aspirations in college are to go into the business or medical filed in which I have many interests. My goal is to attend a college where I can continue to develop as a player and be able to get the best education to achieve my goal of having a successful career.
