Personal Statement
Soccer is the best thing I have in my life besides my family. I discovered my passion for soccer in 7th grade. Over the years I’ve learned how much work it is and what I’m up against. I might still not know exactly what I’m up against yet but I know what is required of me and I want to do the extra mile. I’d be good for a college team because I wouldn’t look to score one goal every few games but at least 3 in every game. I’ve put in enough practice to Know I would be great in any position except goalie which I have not really played as on any team.
If a soccer career as a professional doesn’t work out then I’d like to work with cars. An aeronautical engineer would be my first choice since I greatly appreciate beautiful sports cars. If that didn’t work out then I think just about any job with sports cars.

Training
- My hours of trading with soccer teams is close to the hours I put in to practicing on my own. Basically I have doubled the hours of team training on my own practicing.
- 6 years
- I have trained a days of hours on soccer and becoming a better player. However I haven’t stayed consistent with my private training always. Life sends distractions as it does for everyone and I am creating a mindset now to stay focused on soccer. I am at the point where I just need a few more days of consistent practicing on my own to bring my level of skill up for others such as my coach to see me at a new level.
