I aspire to continue to play at a highly competitive level throughout my college career and hope that it takes me beyond. I have always been an athlete who strives to give more and compete higher. I spent 11 days in Croatia with my club team training and competing against teams from the top 4 clubs in Zagreb. The competition was highly skilled, fast and determined to leave nothing on the pitch, as was I.
My teams are my extended family. I give my all to them and leave nothing on the field. I am there for them as they are there for me on and off the field.
As an athlete, I feel that I am different than other recruits in that I train hard at practice and continue to train at home. It may be drills that I do, running, strength training, scrimmaging my dad and brother, and doing as many pushups as possible. I bring intensity, dedication, speed, skill, and determination to every practice. I feel that this attitude got me on Varsity as a Freshman and a starter in my Sophomore. My high school coach has told me that his choice to put me out there was definitely no mistake. He sees me as a highly coachable player who has grown and will continue to grow throughout the years.
I pride myself on being the strongest and fastest player on the field and am a player who has excellent skill with both my left foot and right foot. I have had the opportunity throughout the years to play every position on the field, but prefer anywhere in the midfield. I feel this gives me an advantage in understanding the game.
