Personal Statement
I use soccer as an expressive output, and I plan to take it as far as it can get me, whether that is through college and finding an adult league when I graduate or continuing to use my skills to adapt to new environments and take it to a higher level. I have used soccer as a way to connect to more people my age, especially when my family moved around a lot, and through that I was exposed to many different players and was able to learn from them and adapt to their styles of play. Meeting and interacting with new players and coaches helped me to experience many different ways of interpreting soccer and helped me to understand and develop my own style. As a player, I am able to adapt to my teammates pretty quickly, and personally, I believe understanding your teammates and how they work is equally important to analyzing the game.
