Personal Statement
Two things that best describe me are my drive and desire to always be better. Whether it is in the classroom or on the field, I am motivated by my belief that I can always be improving. My goals are to become a valuable member of a nationally competitive collegiate soccer team while at the same time earning a college degree (or two) that will allow me to help others once my competitive playing days are behind me (which I hope is long after college). What I want most is be a "coach's player:" the type of player that brings it at every practice and in every game, always making her teammates around her better, and being the quiet leader and example coaches appreciate in their players. I know college recruiting is about the individual, but what I think sets me apart is my passion to be the best teammate possible. I love to train and I strive to master the things my coaches teach me, and those things are firmly rooted in who I am. But more than anything, my best quality is who I am as a teammate and how more than anything, I want to make the players around me better.
As we get to know each other more, I will be happy to share how my family has shaped who I have become as a person and as a soccer player. My family means everything to me and I know I am who I am because of them.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. It means a lot.
