Personal Statement
My name is Tucker Ansede. I am currently enrolled in Middle Creek high school and I am the graduating class of 2021. I have been playing the sport for as long as I can remember. I started when I was 4 and it has always been a very big part of my life and who I am today. Whether I am playing on my high school team, club, or just pick up games with friends, I could not imagine life without soccer. I play all year long and never get tired of it. As a matter of fact, I find myself wanting to play and compete more than ever. I also know that academics are a very important part and I strive to keep a good balance between both.
I enjoy the competitiveness and effort that comes along with playing soccer at the high level. My greatest athletic achievements so far have been making the varsity team as a freshman and being elected to all conference my sophomore year. We are currently coming to the end of my junior season and it has been a great season for my team and me.
The things that will set me apart from anyone else are my competitiveness and hard work that I put in on the field. I also do a lot of work outside of school and club practice by scheduling private lessons and playing with my friends anytime I can. Even though my main position is left back, I also feel that I am a very versatile player and can play where ever I am assigned. I am also left footed and I think that gives me an advantage because no one expects it.
I aspire to continue my soccer career in college because it has been a long time goal of mine. It is what I have spent many years working towards and I feel my best when I am working hard and part of a team. I have the focus, work ethic and motivation to handle and excel on the field and in the classroom. I have uploaded film from this year’s high school season so it would be great if you could get a chance and take a look at it. I would enjoy the opportunity to talk to you more about your program and what I could bring to your team and school.
