I have always told myself to stay away from drugs and achohol because that would hurt my chances of going big someday, and i have stayed true to that everyday of my life. I am a mentally strong person that doesn't get hurt by thing people say. My freshman year of High School, i had bascially everyone of the soccer team tell me that i wasn't good enough and that i was wasting my time playing soccer with them. Instead of taking that personally, and backing away from the challenge, I took it as a chance to become stronger, greater as a player. I told myself that i could prove them wrong. My Junior year of High School, i made Varsity proving to the team and coaches that i mean business.
I started playing soccer as a Center Back in a indoor league and didn't like it so much, my coach then put me at goalkeeper where i exceeded the expectations, and got picked up by a Lonestar soccer team and had a great time at lonestar, where i was captain for 2 seasons, having the Top 3 save percentage in the league all 3 seasons i played there. I learned that if i can adapt to a new team, and still do well, that no matter what team i am on, they can trust me as their GK.
My favorite High School memory is saving a PK to win the game in the last 4 minutes. I heard the crowd roar and i got that rush in my body. There is no better feeling than coming out on top even when the odds are against you. Showing others that I can achieve something in nearly impossible odds, really helped me grow as a player and as a person.
As my final statement,
I will work as hard as i physically can to be a option on your team. I will stay up late and wake up early to prove to my teammates and coaches that i will work hard and that i can be trusted as a Goalkeeper. I strive to hear my coach tell me that i did a great job, i strive on showing coaches and teammates that they can trust me.
