Connor Kirk - Goa...Personal Statement
Soccer has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I've been playing basically my whole life and would love the opportunity to play at the next level. I have been a goal keeper exclusively since fourth grade.
My strengths are tactically setting up my defense and reaction type saves, such as diving. Positionally, I am almost never caught out. I don't play out of my goal far like Neuer, but I'm ready for a long ball over the defense if necessary.
I am a junior at South Doyle High School. My weighted GPA is 4.26, and ACT score is 24. I am taking the ACT again in June 2015.
I attend Mount Olive Baptist Church and am a singer in the youth band. I am also in the National Honor Society, Key Club International, and DECA. I qualified in DECA for state two straight years, but couldn't attend due to soccer games. I'm also not attending my junior prom due to a soccer tournament conflict.
I would love to find a college/university, not only for soccer, but to challenge me academically as well.
