Personal Statement
I have played competitive soccer for the majority of my life and I am ready to secure my spot onto your team. I take soccer very seriously in high hopes that I will have the opportunity to continue playing throughout college and beyond. I enjoy trying new positions because it shows me the many different aspects of the game, so I can fully understand and support my team on the field. I have played high school soccer for 3 years, and club for 6 years. In addition, I have participated in the ODP (Olympic Development Program). Last year while I played with ODP, I competed in the regional tournament for Ohio’s State Team, where we went undefeated. My coaches have all shared with me that I am very coachable and that I’m an essential part of their teams.
Both on and off the field I consider myself to have great team chemistry and team building qualities such as; outgoing, optimistic, strategic mindset, and I am a very hard worker. Due to me displaying these qualities on the field, I have experienced roles in leadership on my teams as being my club team’s captain and currently working towards my high school team’s captain. I also have experience with coaching younger players (who were new to soccer), in hopes that I could encourage and share my life long passion. It was a great life experience, and personally, I loved it.
I would make a great addition to your team because I will help in every way possible and the team's success will always come first. I have always trained hard and strategically, because giving anything less than 100% is not an option for me. For instance, if we are down 10-0, I will keep my composure, stay focused, and make strategic decisions for the better of the team. I have participated in 2 varsity level high school seasons. This past season I secured myself a starting spot on the pitch. Everyday, I challenge myself both athletically and academically to become the best I can be. I will continue these practices and strive to achieve my desired goals of playing collegiate soccer. I appreciate you taking the time to read a little bit about me.
