Personal Statement
My name is Caleb Allen and I am currently a senior at Mansfield Lake Ridge High School. I play for Solar U19 MLS NEXT in the positions of attacking midfield/ forward. As a team we are ranked #1 in the Country and recently just won the 2021 Dallas Cup. This will be my 3rd year playing for Solar under Coach Adrian Solca and I'm thankful to have great coaching mentors to help me improve my skills and continue to become a better player and teammate. I've had many highlights in my soccer career that I take pride in, some of these include our team making it to the finals of the 2019 Dallas Cup, finishing first in our DA Conference before COVID, and also being recruited and playing for Germany in the 2017 Dallas Cup.
I also played high school soccer my freshman and sophomore year. During my time on our varsity team I was awarded 2nd Team All Region, 1st Team All District, and District Newcomer Of The Year as a sophomore. In addition to sports I take my academics seriously. I have maintained a 3.6 GPA throughout high school and I have learned valuable time management skills juggling studies, sports, and part time work.
I'm a very competitive person and also a team player. My parents have taught me a good way to learn life lessons is to play on a team or play sports. I now understand how true that is and I am confident that my skills, dedication, and work ethic will be beneficial in any environment I am put in. I am open to different types of schools. I would like to find a college in which I can learn from others and make an impact as soon as possible and I'm excited to take the next step in my college soccer career.
