Personal Statement
I have been playing soccer since I was 5 and fell in love with it. I am always there to encourage my teammates and let them know that they aren't alone. I like learning new things through experience. I try to make new friendships with my teammates so everyone on the team is on the same page. I am determined and when I am put down I just need some time to reflect on the situation and make the most out of it.
In my freshman year, I made the varsity team as a defensive center mid. I then transitioned into the center back position my sophomore year and gained a starting position. In my sophomore year I was named captain by my teammates and coach. This gave me more confidence on the field.
At my club, I have played at Chicago Rush for two years now and have made history within the club. My team was the first to win Presidents Cup (2021), first to compete in State Cup and become semi-finalists (2022). I was also named captain for this team this year, this helped me organize my team and get closer to so many of them.
I have a natural sense of leadership and confidence on the field. My coaches have recognized me for my intelligence, spatial awareness, technique, and organization skills all which I am proud of.
