Personal Statement

I am 5’5, 145lbs, with 8 years of soccer experience playing as defensive midfield and center back (jersey #3). I currently have a 4.1 GPA, and I am planning to major in sports, health, fitness science, and minor in applied sports health science psychology. I am a very hardworking player and bring my strong technical, determination, and physical ability to my teams.

I was interested in playing soccer at the age of 7 when I was driving past a soccer practice and asked my mom can I try out. While playing soccer I developed good sportsmanship, leadership skills, and teamwork. I learned that you must learn to adapt to different coaching ways and styles of plays. I have been playing soccer ever since

In college, I will be a scholar athlete that completes their work in advance and not procrastinate. I do not want to fall behind on my work. I am determined and not afraid to ask questions to help me understand in the classroom and on the field. I have overcome injuries and people judgement and doubt. It was hard when people judged me because of my skin color thinking black girls are ratchet or violent. I am determined to change the narrative by my action, my work ethic, the way I motivate others and so much more.  I have learned to help change the perspective of how coaches viewed me because, coaches didn’t think I had speed, foot skills, or able to get past the opponent. It has been amazing to help train the next generation, and develop leadership skills. 

My passion has grown for the art of soccer. I possess leadership skills, I am hardworking, and I continue to learn how to adapt to the various styles of coaching.
