2025 Highlights Personal Statement
My athletic goal is to play soccer at a high level for as long as I can. For me, there will always be a next step/level to my game, my next step is to play high level college soccer. I know how to play different roles on the field and in the team. I've been a captain and I have been on the bench - no matter what I show up as a teammate and competitor. I know as well as my coaches do, based on my physical and technical growth, that my best ball is in front of me.
For me, family is always my number one priority followed by faith and academics. I left my MLS Next team after two season because my sister, and only sibling at the time, had been born. I was commuting to Milwaukee 4x/week for training. I converted that "car time" into training, family, and school and the results are starting to pay off. I have been named Captain to both my state and EAL teams each of the past 2 seasons and played Varsity for my school Freshman and Sophomore years.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm excited to keep writing my story.
