Varsity Highlight...Personal Statement
I have been playing playing sports since I was 4-years-old with soccer being my favorite since I first stepped foot on the field. I have been praised over the years by my coaches for my overall athleticism including having a highly successful multi-sport junior high athletic career highlighted by 8 district championships and a 3x runner up across soccer, football, basketball, and tennis.
Transitioning into high school, I decided to focus on soccer and have benefitted from that decision. I was a varsity starter at forward as a sophomore in the highest classification of sports in Texas and helped guide our team the District 19-6A championship. Aside from on field production, my coaches consistently point out my high work rate and being very coachable as two of my biggest assets. I am viewed as a leader on the team and do my best to encourage and teach so that our team chemistry remains high.
I take the academic side of school very seriously and do my best to get good grades. I am also in Young Mens Service League and enjoy volunteering around the city.
I'm looking forward to the next level and what college can offer from both an academic and athletic standpoint.
