Personal Statement

I have always demanded myself to be the best player and student that I can be.  I am hard working and intelligent. My strengths are speed, crossing, 1 on 1 defending, finishing, and tactical/soccer knowledge. I have played at some of the highest levels of youth soccer in the US.  I am not satisfied with being like everyone else and demand more from myself on and off the pitch. I am always working hard to improve my game physically, tactically, and mentally. I attend a high level college prep school that holds high expectations in academics and athletics. This has molded me into a great student and learner. It has always been my goal to play division 1 soccer and to continue my soccer career as long as I am able to.
