Personal Statement
Every young athlete has a goal, and mine is to become a starting forward on a competitive college soccer team. On the field I am tough, aggressive and determined to help lead my team to victory. I give my full effort during every practice and game. I believe in earning playing time and respect, so I am always trying to show my coaches and teammates what a devoted and reliable player I am. I would make a good addition to any team because I still feel as if the “sky is the limit” in terms of how good I can get. It seems that the harder I work on skills, conditioning and making my body stronger, the more results I am getting. I believe that the mental side of the game is equally important. This is a strength for me. When things get tough, I typically elevate my game even further and I never dwell on mistakes, but learn from them instead.
I do my best to maintain excellent grades and relationships with my teachers in school. I have a 4.0 GPA and I am currently ranked 4th in my class of 80. I understand that the balance between academics and athletics requires good discipline and good prioritization skills that are developed well before college begins. I am a very organized and determined student. Academically, I intend on obtaining a degree in business/finance.
