Personal Statement
Hello, I'm Helena Fotopoulos, I'm a high school senior completing my final year of study at Rowville Sports Academy. I'm looking to continue my academics and soccer is the US. I have been playing soccer since I was 6 years old, always playing with the boys until I turned 13, which I had to move to the girls' team. It has always been a dream of mine to play college soccer at a high level. Getting this opportunity to play in college would push me to the next level.
My strength are being able to read the play and make decisions on and off the ball which is crucial to keep possession and keep the ball in the oppositions half of the field, my ability to perform under pressure and knowing what I'm going to do before I receive the ball from my team-mate is a great strength of mine. My ability to perform skills to get around players and being able to execute an accurate pass to my team and the amount of power I can manipulate on the ball to reach its desired destination. I'm the captain at my NPL club, Box hill United. Ive been captain at the club for 2 years. With my first year in 2018 I had won the WNPL U16 girls whilst also receiving MVP in my first year of NPL. I am looking to attend a college where I can push not only myself but the team forward.
