Montag's 2nd 40 y...Personal Statement
I want to play at the highest level I can possible achieve. My goal is to play professional soccer after college. Most people walk through life thinking that they could not possible do that. I think there is no way of knowing if you think you can't or don't even try.
I know I need a college education and want to do well in school also, knowing that playing soccer won't last forever. I want to attend a college where I can achieve both, do well in soccer and school.
When it comes to athletics, sports or competition of any kind I dive into it 100% and figure out all the ways that I can be the best at what I am doing. I like to think about things, break them down to be better and always find ways to improve. I am very coachable, a fast learner and look forward to having a coach that can help me play at the top of my abilities and can help get me to the next level. I'm very good at seeing something and being able to repeat it like plays and ball skills. I like to be a team leader, not by talking but by doing what I do in practice and on the field.
My Dad always said "when you are good at something, you have a responsibility to make those around you better." I try my best to be that person in practice by working hard and in games by working hard and creating opportunities for my teammates to have success. I can't say that I want to go to school with the same enthusiasm as I say I want to play soccer with the best but I know school is very important and I will always do my best in the classroom.
After my soccer career is over I want to operate my own business and the education I receive in college will be crucial to meeting that goal. I am looking for a college/university that will provide for me the academics I need to achieve my life goals and the Soccer Program that I need to reach my soccer career goals.
Thank you for taking your time to read a little about me...I look forward to talking to you soon!
