Personal Statement
One thing I've learned throughout my years of playing soccer is that hard work pays off and that sticking with my goals will help me get farther in life. This mindset has helped me persevere through, not only the challenges I have faced in soccer, but school and life as well. Ever since I was little, I realized that soccer was one of my greatest passions that I strived to succeed in.
To me, soccer is more than a game. I believe the beautiful game can reveal someone's true character and create lifelong habits and skills that can be applied to all aspects of life. Personally, soccer has allowed me to accept discipline and take criticism to improve who I am as a player and a person. It has also taught me the importance of teamwork and perseverance on and off the field.
These skills have helped me achieve many academic accomplishments, which I hope will afford me opportunities to continue my athletic and academic career in college. As of now, I am interested in studying business because I believe this will open many options for my professional career, including sales, marketing, or business ownership. Additionally, I think pursuing soccer in college is something I look forward to doing because of the opportunities it will present, and I love to play!
