2023 Spotlight #2Personal Statement
My goal is to be the best goalkeeper I can be. I work hard in my studies and on the soccer field. I hand in all assignments on time, study so I do well on tests and quizzes, and get assistance from my teachers when needed. I show up to the field early to get ready for my game/practice. I get in a good warmup and work hard during drills. I participate in camps and clinics to become a better goalkeeper. I currently work with a nutritionist to help me with my strength and energy. I will go the extra length, do the extra credit, get a tutor if I need one because I care about my studies as I want to do the best I can in my academics and I aspire to be the best goalkeeper.
I'm positive, caring, compassionate, loyal, unselfish, and a team player. I'm vocal with positive reinforcements during our games.

- I had the privilege of coaching Connor on the Northeast Rush select team that played in Finland at the Helsinki Cup. This young individual possesses an array of skills, leadership qualities, and an unwavering dedication that sets him apart on the field. His goal is to play at the collegiate level, and with his impressive abilities, there's no doubt he will make an impact wherever he goes. Vocal Leadership: From the first whistle to the last, this goalkeeper has proven to be a vocal leader on the field. Commanding the defensive line and organizing the team's positioning, their ability to communicate effectively was a pivotal asset. Connor motivated and guided his teammates, instilling a sense of confidence and unity that elevates the entire squad's performance. Safe Hands and Fearless Dives: Goalkeepers are often defined by their ability to make crucial saves, and Connor does not disappoint. His remarkable hands seem are almost magnetically drawn to the ball, consistently pulling off extraordinary saves even under pressure. Unafraid of diving into potentially dangerous situations, he showcased a fearlessness that inspires trust and confidence in his teammates. Composure in Possession: A quality that distinguishes him is his confidence when playing with his feet. Many goalkeepers may shy away from back passes and long-range distribution, but not Connor. He showed composure and accuracy when playing out from the back, offering a reliable outlet for the defenders and setting the team up for swift counterattacks. All-Out Attitude: While passion and dedication are admirable qualities, this goalkeeper's all-out approach, both in practice and games, sets him apart. He brings the same intensity to every training session as he does to matchday, displaying a relentless drive for improvement. Conclusion: Connor is an exceptional talent with immense potential to shine at the college level. His vocal leadership, secure hands, assertiveness off the line, and composure in possession make him an invaluable asset to any team. With continued growth and development, there is no doubt Connor will make a significant impact on the college soccer stage.
