Personal Statement
My name is Joaquin Beatty. I am currently a Fall 2023 All-State (1st Team), All Great-Lakes Region Goalkeeper, playing for the 2023/24 Ohio Elite Soccer Academy ECNL B06 Club out of Cincinnati, OH. I consider my style of play as that of an aggressive/physical sweeper keeper that controls my box. I’m comfortable with the ball at my feet and building up from the back. I have great communication with my teammates along with power and accuracy in my distribution. I attend the Summit Country Day School where I started on the Varsity team this Fall and will be graduating in May of 2024.
I am taking additional Honors and AP Classes this year. In the summer, I volunteered my time at Matthew25Ministries organizing donations for locations in need. My current interest is studying Sports Media Production in college.
Soccer has been a big influence in my life. I’ve been playing the position of goalkeeper since I was 8 years old. It has helped me gain confidence. When I’m not in practices, I’m conditioning and taking on extra GK training sessions to continue developing to the next level.
Unlike my TAP evaluation, I do work very hard and push myself in workouts. I’m also up for whatever change is needed to keep developing and be the best I can be for my team’s performance.
