Personal Statement
As a newly graduated senior (grad yr 2019), I made a huge decision to attend a soccer academy located in Marbella, Spain called Marbella United F.C. Obviously there was some risk, and some doubt that did creep in. I often would ask myself “why not just take the tradition route through collegiate soccer, and complete your degree?” But through careful analyzation and research with my parents, we felt it was best for me to not follow to generic pathway of collegiate soccer. This opportunity has not only allowed me to learn a whole different side of football, but to grow and mature from being so far away from home. This maturity that is now instilled in me, will now follow me in the classroom, with my peers, and on and off the field. And to all the potential recruiters, you will not be taking a chance on me!
