2023 Highlights #2Personal Statement
In college I want to play as soon as possible as a freshman. I love playing soccer and learning how to play better. I am very competitive with my teammates. However, on the pitch, I focus on chemistry, bringing other players into the play to be efficient, and creating opportunities to increase chances to score. I am a quiet leader and let my actions speak. Unlike the other recruits, I am willing to play as much as possible and listen and learn to what my superiors say. In my TAP results (check that), I am an Engineer. I am very versatile and can play at the 10 or attacking mid, but I am also dangerous and creative on the center mid, striker, or attacking wing. My Rush Coach Tommy Carter has us playing the Cruyff Method and using the false 9 from time to time where we will use this in Spain Spring Break '24 for the Mare Nostrum Tournament in Salou, Spain. In high school, my junior year I was helping play the 8 and 10 to make sure we get distribution for the attack. My senior year I will be playing the 9 at Great Bridge HS. I just want to make sure I'm a good fit and that I like the coach and system. In academics, last time I checked, I have a solid 3.5 gpa, and in athletics I start for my club and school team, so my goal is to be well rounded on and off the pitch. Be sure to watch my games for Great Bridge High School this Spring 2024 wearing the number 9.
