2018 Highlight Vi...Personal Statement
NCAA Eligibility ID #1711974203
I am currently a senior at Waukesha North High School in Waukesha, Wisconsin, where I am Captain of the 2019 team, and was also Captain of the 2017 and 2018 boys' varsity soccer teams; I received a Classic 8 All Conference Honorable Mention award in 2017 and 2nd Team All-Conference award in 2018. I was voted MVP by my teammates for the 2018 high school season. I had been a multi-sport athlete through my sophomore year of high school, playing both basketball and baseball, in addition to soccer. I have been told by different coaches that I am easily coachable, very vocal on the field, and can read the field and plays as they develop. I have played club soccer at the highest levels at SC Waukesha, and am currently a starting center back on the men's 00/01s Blue team. Some of my personal and teams' accomplishments during those years include: 2015, 2016 and 2019 Wisconsin State Cup champions, 2017 and 2018 State Cup semifinalist; 2015 Region II Championship Runner Up, and as a result of that finish, my team was able to participate in the US Youth Soccer National League during 2016. This past season my team played in the Midwest Conference, and won the Premier II Division. My team played in the MRL Premier Division I and the NPL's Midwest Development leagues for 2017 and 2018. During my club career, I have been a starting center back for my teams, with minimal time on the bench. My years' experience playing at a high level, my physical strength and foot skills, and my dedication to personal training and my team would make me invaluable to any college soccer program.
