Personal Statement
2023 Defensive/Midfielder brought to you by my unique strengths: daring, determined, and competitive. I am a passionate action taker drawn to watching or playing sports. Who doesn't want to become an Olympian? Competition is part of what drives me, win or lose. I have an internal force that pushes my limits and allows me to overcome many obstacles. I relentlessly pursue what is next and more significant than I have known before as I get energy from it. I don't burn out quickly and thrive in dynamic situations. I want to add my dynamite to your team and take from your athletic coaching staff to enhance my skills and natural ability. Comment from one of my coaches: I have two unique qualities: speed and being coachable.
My name is Ayden, and I am a senior at Laconia High school, where I have been on the varsity soccer team all four years, along with the varsity swim team and varsity Track and Field. I was accepted on the CAFC '04 club travel team and the NH OPD team for the past two years. I have enjoyed playing soccer since I was four years old and had a four-year gap due to moving overseas to South East Asia. Living abroad didn't keep me from practicing. I found ways to get better with not much to work with. Determination is my focus and drive. Making a dream become a reality of playing soccer for a college excels in my determination which keeps me focused on working hard on and off the field. I enjoy putting in extra training at the gym; no, my parents do not make me. I choose to get up at 5 am to hit the gym while encouraging my teammates to join, and when they don't want to get up - I am still there to gain strength and added yoga two years ago for recovery. Healthy eating is a must, as it is the fuel that feeds the muscles to win.
