Nathaniel Ames Re...Personal Statement
I am a hard hitting Center Back, who can play across the entire back line, and am able to step into the midfield to play Defensive mid when needed. I enjoy watching and playing the game. On the weekend if I am not playing a soccer game or practicing, I am trying to watch a couple Premier League matches. I've been playing since I was six years old and have grown to love the game over the years. I have been pushed by my club coach to reach a higher level. In 2023 I played with our U15 team and our U19 team in the same season. That same year he also invited me to practice with one of our local semi-pro teams, Cleveland S.C. In 2024 I was asked to again play at the U19 level as well as the U17 and my regular U16 team.
I am looking to attend school to study either Engineering or Architecture. As a student with a GPA above 4.0, I prioritize my studies while committing my energy to the game that I love.
