Personal Statement
I am a leader. I lead by example on and off the field. I have been a captain for three years on my club team and have been selected by my teammates to be captain of my high school's varsity team next season, as a junior. I have never been one to follow the crowd. I am an extremely hard worker. I accept that I will make mistakes and use these mistakes to learn and improve. I have been told by many coaches that I am a very coachable player. I follow instruction very well and will work very hard to adjust to any corrections given to me. I also care very much about my grades. I know that to be eligible to get scholarships a lot of this money will come from academics. My grades come first and I make sure to always get my work done. When necessary I will stay up as late as needed to complete all assignments. I am able to manage my time very well between schoolwork, sports and my social life. Soccer is very important in my life, I feel that it defines who I am. I would really like to continue playing in college so that I will have as much time as possible to do what I love.
