Personal Statement

I am a highly motivated athlete with a strong desire to play soccer at the college level and beyond. I am frequently the first to the field and the last to leave. I always try to give 110% both on the field and in the classroom and I'm willing to put forth the effort required to better my game so that I can compete with the best. This winning attitude has allowed me to be selected as captain of my school team and to be selected to the Region 1 ODP regional pool as well as being listed to the high honor roll and leader on my club team over several years. I hope to connect with college coaches and learn what I need to do to help contribute to their winning team.
