Personal Statement
My name is Ava Van Santen, I am 17 years old and I graduate in 2022. I am a striker for my division 1 Langley united soccer team and I hold assistant captain on my team. My high school did not have a girls team so i tried out for the senior boys varsity team and made it for my final year of high school soccer.I am very interested in playing college or university level soccer in the upcoming season of fall 2022. Soccer is my biggest passion and I am not ready to give it up, it is great for my physical and mental health and overall is what makes me happy. I believe I am a strong candidate for a college or university team as I am determined, passionate, personable. I am a strong player on the field and my biggest strength would be my speed and drive. I have strong academics maintaining all A's and high B's in all of my classes. my goal is to become a sports psychologist to better athletes that struggle with mental health issues and help them become the best they can be. Soccer is my biggest passion and I cannot imagine going through my post-secondary life without it.
