My name is Gena Liszka and I am an EDP club league and high school soccer athlete. I excel at soccer with a current weighted GPA of 3.78. I am a versatile soccer player with the ability of playing defense and midfield. I am an aggressive player and not afraid to be first to ball no matter what the competition. My strengths are leading the team from the back and having a strong read of the game. I excel in defensive awareness. I led my high school varsity team to a 10-3-1 season. I currently play for the NLSA HS Black EDP club team. Being a team player is of the utmost importance to me and I rely on strong collaboration between my coach and my teammates to drive victory. My goal is to play at the collegiate level. I am a soccer referee, a community volunteer, a mother’s helper, babysitter and pet care giver for the families in my neighborhood. I strive to be a good role model.
Sincerely,
Genevieve (Gena) Liszka
