Personal Statement
My name is Alexavier Mejia, I have transferred to further my education and soccer to Saint Martin's University DII, back home to WA. Recently returned from playing two years at FC Malaga City Academy in Estepona, Spain where I played against some of Europe's finest football clubs; including Real Betis, Athletico Madrid, Valencia CF, Manchester City and others to name a few. Last year I played with New Mexico State University UDA Soccer academy that played year round with a minimum of 30 matches schedule. I played in the UPSL Premier Division and was a great experience and awesome teammates I played with.
I like soccer because it's a competitive sport. I think soccer is fun and a team sport, makes me think before I get on the field and off the field. I believe to be in a successful team, you must be able to communicate, have camaraderie, teamwork and grit. One unique thing about me is that I can pretty much play every position, and I am very confident where I play, depending where coach needs me. I am a team player and my coach likes to play me in different positions, due to being dominant with both feet.
I am looking to study social work. Thank you to my family and friends for their support. Especially my parents who have been there every minute of each match. I am a coachable player and I love to learn new things. My commitment to soccer is what ever it takes to accomplish my goals and my team. I get my motivation from my father, who is a combat veteran, purple heart recipient from the war in Iraq. He was injured and has gone through so much, and he never quit. He motivates me everyday!!!
