Personal Statement

I am Tonatiuh and I am a very hardworking Goalkeeper that puts in many extra practices whenever possible. I am coached by Martin Ontiveros, the previous 2010 champion of the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer National Championship with Akron University, and also coached by the current goalkeeper of the RGV Toros Carlos Merancio and am growing as a player by the day. I am a hardworking player and student in the classroom, I am always in an environment that lets me know I am a student-athlete that needs to flourish not only on the pitch but in the classroom. I am determined to make my dreams come true and to work very hard to make sure I live with no regrets and continue into a bright future.
