Personal Statement
My name is Ryleigh J. Lewis and I am currently a Junior at Pemberton Twp. High School in NJ and plan to graduate in 2020. This fall I earned the starting holding midfielder position for the Varsity Pemberton Twp. High School Girls soccer team for the third year in a row. I have played soccer since the age of 5 and high level of club soccer the last years with Twin County S.A. Storm 2002. I have been selected to the NJ ODP Pool selection in 2015 and the Next Gen USA Soccer Emerging Talent Center in 2016 - 2017.
I am a very hard worker both on the field and in the classroom. My goal is to maintain the best grades through high school while trying to achieve the highest performance on the field. I am a very coachable person who takes constructive criticism and immediately implements them in my life. As I progress through high school, I will seek to find a College or University that will help me further my growth and goals as an individual and my performance on the field.
I believe my biggest attribute to any team is my versatility. I am able to play every field position, except goalie. I have the tenacity, size and strength to play along the defensive back line. I have the speed and the ability to use both feet to play any of the striker/forward position. And the foot skills and field vision to play in the midfield. Many of my coaches, both past and present, have utilized me in multiple positions. So I will look for a College/University that will allow me to be dynamic and grow on the field.
