Personal Statement
It is a goal of mine to play soccer at the collegiate level. I understand that in order to achieve this goal it will take time, effort, and dedication. My prior soccer coaches have provided positive feedback regarding my soccer skills, effort, and dedication even back to when I played at the Academy level (U9-U10). I am a very competitive person and challenge myself to get better. Even one of my basketball coaches told my father that he enjoyed coaching me because I am a hard worker and a great listener. My efforts were also recognized during tryouts as I was selected to be part of the ODP team for the Dakotas (South Dakota and North Dakota). Since I play center back for my local club team, my coaches have pushed me to become a leader on the team and vocalize to others where they should be on the field. My work effort is also shown off the field and in the classroom by obtaining a GPA above 3.5.
