Jacob Petro 2023 ...Personal Statement
2023 Goalkeeper, 6' 1" 170lbs, Peters Twp. HS in PA, 4.67 GPA
I am a very academically talented junior at Peters Township High School, located South of Pittsburgh. I currently play goalkeeper for my high school team and for Century United FC. I hope to go on to compete in college soccer at an academically rigorous university. I have always put the team first, and have the tactical understanding and discipline to play an important role in any system. I am an academically gifted student with top-level results and multi-faceted interests. I have played soccer since age 9, goalkeeper since age 12. My first year of club soccer was my sophomore year, and I made a huge jump in ability (3rd choice on junior varsity to starting JV and 2nd choice on Varsity) and anticipate an even higher level of growth in the upcoming club season. I am open and looking forward to going out-of-state for college.
