As Andrea Pirlo once said “ football is played with the head. Your feet are just the tools.” I have used those inspiring words to guide me through my soccer career. As an athlete I have continued to seek out opportunities to diversify and grow my soccer intelligence and skills on the pitch. Participating in international soccer camps exposed me to various styles of coaching and strategies of approaching the game. It has also provided me with an opportunity to play with other athletes from all over the world. Playing soccer from a young age has provided me with invaluable lessons that I am able to apply in all aspects of my life. I am hardworking, persistent, and a team player both on the pitch and off. I look forward to what the future holds for me both academically and athletically.
