Personal Statement
I have been playing soccer since I was five years old. I cannot remember a time that I did not want to play college soccer. Playing college soccer is a lifelong dream that I am determined to achieve.
I am a strong defensive player. My play is solid and consistent. I have a keen ability to read the play of the game. I am able to organize and lead my defense. I always work hard and can be depended on to do the job required of my position. I am a starter for my high school varsity team. My sophomore year I was nominated to the 2nd team All-District team as well as awarded the Defense MVP for my varsity squad. My junior year, I was awarded District Defensive MVP. In addition, I have been playing club soccer for five years. I am the starting center back as well as team captain. For the 2016 season, I was given the Player's Player as well as the Coach's Player awards. The past two years I have been chosen to represent the 1999 boys on the National Premier League team for the south central division. I am the starting center back and the team captain for this team as well.
I am a very dedicated student. I have a very high GPA, 3.97 and am ranked in the top 3% of my class. I am a member of the National Honor Society. My academics take top priority in my life. I know grades are important and I continuously put forth the effort required to excel at school. I was nominated by my teachers to be a peer mentor.
