Name: Glen Reid

Weight: 155.6 lbs
Speed: 40m - 4.03secs

My most important accomplishments in soccer so far are as follows:
1) In February 2012 joining the Houston Dynamo Academy Squad.
2) In the 2010/2011 season whilst playing with the Albion Hurricanes 93B in Houston I was made team captain.
3)  Whilst playing with the Albion Hurricanes in 2010, I was invited by US Soccer to attend the Houston USA Soccer Player Opportunity Event and had a 2 hour training session with US Coaches and Elite players from the Houston area. 
4) In the 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 seasons with my High school I was selected in the TAPPS 3A All-State and All-District teams. 
5) In season 2008/2009 I played with Al Nasr SC in Dubai, and in this season we won the UAE U17 League.
6) In 2007 I won the opportunity with Manchester United Soccer Schools in Dubai to participate in a one week training camp in Manchester, England at one of the MUSS Residential Camps.  I got this opportunity with MUSS when I finished 2nd overall out of 500 people in their skills challenges. 
7) In 2006 I was being coached by the E-sports academy in Dubai, and was selected to go to Alicante, Spain to take part in the Adidas sponsored F-50 vs. Predator training camp / mini tournament that took place over 3 days.

The attrbutes which I feel I can best offer teams are,  my sense of loyalty, commitment and leadership.  I was given the opportunity to captain my team, Albion Hurricanes last season and my High School (BSH) this season and they're both experiences that I've relished and which most definitely improved me as a player.  I am a very dedicated player who always gives a 100% for my team. I also attend every training session, and thrive on competitive matches.

 I am opened minded when it comes to the colleges which I would like to attend although my geographical preference would be for the Eastern States.  The size of the college isn't an important factor as I believe that big and small colleges can both have their own advantages.  I would however be most interested in a college with both a high academic reputation and a competitive level of soccer as I feel that this would give me the best opportunity to achieve my goals.  If an opportunity arises where financial aid could be available to assist my family with tuition fees then this would be greatly appreciated.

My ambition is to attain a Degree in Sports Science, either Exercise Physiology (Kinesiology) or Exercise Science and to play soccer at as high a level as possible.  It would be a dream for me to study and play soccer at College which would then give me the best possible opportunities for my future.
