Personal Statement
Hello, Allow me to introduce myself my name is Christian Cannady. I am 17 years old and currently a Junior at Fuqua HS Farmville, Va , home to the Hampden Sydney Tigers and the Longwood Lancers. I play club/ travel soccer for Beach FC. I played on the JV team in 8th grade. Also currently play U19 club for Beach FC.
I'm a person who ideally likes to improve myself and looks for ways to improve playing style and pace of play. From the first step on the field I believe in being a team player because it takes a team to work together and build each other up as a team. What makes me different from all the other players and teammates is that I'm a aggressive but positive player that will look focus on the positives during a losing match and hyping up all my other teammates and helping them out. My dream and goal is to become a professional soccer player. I want to become a professional soccer player because in a way soccer has changed my life and the way I see professional soccer players like Diego Godin who can keep his cool under pressure and is a great agressive defender . Everytime I get on the field I aspire to be and play as great as him.
Academically, I'm a good student with a GPA of 3.06. While being a academically a good student friends and extracericular activities are important to me to. Such extracurricular activities include giving back to the soccer community by reffereeing rec league games and volunteering to raise money.
I plan to consider colleges that would not only suite me academically but also help me further my athletic knowledge and ability.
