2021 Highlights
Skills Video Fall...Personal Statement
I am excited to play soccer at a competitive level at an academically strong school, majoring in engineering. I have been playing soccer since I was four. However, as I live in a very rural area of the country my only option for soccer has been a competitive recreational league team (who scrimmaged and beat many travel and club teams each year), until high school. In high school, I have played varsity soccer since freshmen year, and switched to keeper at the start of my sophomore year, a position which I love. Last year, my first year as keeper, I made the First All-Region team, and All-State Honorable Mention for A/AA. I am an honor role student with an average 4.2/4.0 GPA and am enrolled in all the AP and honors classes my school has to offer. I may take the ACT this fall and will post scores as soon as I have them. My SAT was a trial run and I plan on studying and retaking the SAT in the spring.
I look forward to the opportunity to meet coaches and learn about your programs.
