Omar's Highlight ...Personal Statement
Soccer has been an integral part of my life for the last 11 years. Over these 11 years I have grown as an athlete teammate and leader. I am currently playing for Blau Weiss Gottschee where I've cultivated exceptional technical skills, a keen tactical understanding and outstanding physical attributes—including strength speed and agility. My team is always successful. A lot of times I push myself and my teammates forward. I am highly coachable and dedicated to putting in the effort required to propel my team toward success.
What separates me from others is my unwavering dedication to excellence both on and off the field. Academically maintain a 105 average and am an active member of my school robotics team which is ranked second in the city. I'm also preparing to take on the prestigious role of lead engineer next year. This position will push me to innovate, collaborate and tackle complex challenges - skills that seamlessly transfer to the soccer field.
My ultimate goal is to bring the same level of passion dedication and teamwork to your program. I am ready to grow both as a player and as an individual and I am confident that my unique combination of athletic prowess, academic achievement and leadership experience makes me an invaluable asset to your team.
