Personal Statement
My name is Obed Torres and I have been playing soccer since I was four years old ,and to this day I enjoy playing the greatest sport in the world. Soccer has taught me so many lessons in life such as not giving up when you fail and to never let others tell you that you are not good enough. I learned that I love to compete against others and always try to win but of course in soccer, you will lose some games. I will study business because I am not afraid to take risks and I believe that is what helps me be creative on the field. My goals for college are to focus on my school work and also develop myself as a soccer player to help the team win. When I was younger I got injured badly and was out for a couple of months but nothing will ever stop me from playing the sport I enjoy the most. The players I enjoyed watching a few years ago were Xavi and Iniesta because they are soccer smart and they rarerly make a bad pass. I would say my technique, skills, vision, and ball control are unique attributes that I own. I am ready for a new challenge in my life and to hopefully continue to study and play soccer at a college level to help me as a person and as a soccer player.
