A few years ago, I made the decision to change my lifestyle completely around. Pizza turned into lean, protein-packed meats and solely practices became practices as well as work on my own. I then realized that I have this persistent, burning desire to be the absolute best that I can be and to make a genuine contribution to the teams that I play for. Truthfully, I am not a fast player and I may never be. That's not the player that I am. However, I make up for this lack of speed in my strength, high soccer IQ, and work ethic- on and off the field. On the field, I strive to accomplish whatever you, as a coach ask of me. Off the field, I make and enjoy academics as a top priority and am working to become valedictorian of my class. That desire to become the best player possible, to contribute, to win, and to prove to myself of the ability that I have is what drives me to play college soccer.
