Personal Statement
Hello! My name is Tarni Nicol. I am a 2025 graduate and am currently in year 11. I am born and raised in the city of Melbourne in Australia where I have been playing soccer for 5 years; 2 years at Casey Comets (Under12-14's) and another 3 years at Southern United (Under14-17's). Recently, I have joined two prestigious training programs under the W-league Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City teams, where I am training, gaining experience and learning with professional coaches at a high level of intensity. As well as that, I also am committed to club training in the National Premier League (NPL) and training at Rowville Sports Academy where I go to school. At RSA, I am trained by Melissa Maizels who is one of the coaches at Melbourne Victory within our girls soccer program. I aspire to play soccer at a college I love where I can grow, learn, and continue my soccer journey. My strengths in soccer include communication, passing accuracy, shutting down opposition, and making passing options/ runs. I am very coachable and take on corrections that will make me the best player I can be. I am an extremely encouraging and passionate as I care about my team and working with other players. Since I was 11 years old I've wanted to play soccer at a professional level where I can bring my skills and love for soccer to a team.
