Personal Statement
Having played soccer competitively for 12 years, I know the game very well and what it takes to play at a high level. What makes me different from others athletically is that I learn the game very quickly, adjusting and adapting to game situations and positions. What sets me apart from others off the field is my interest to teach and share the game to others through coaching private lessons and volunteering as a coach at community youth soccer programs. I have also been refereeing recreational and travel youth soccer for the past 7 years. In the classroom, I enjoy making the most out of an academic course to learn the material in full depth via class participation and group studies.
