Personal Statement
Thank you for visiting my profile! I’m an attacking and defensive center mid looking for a program that will give me a strong education and a challenging and fun soccer experience. I'd love to find a team where I can make an impact, grow as a player and have a close bond with my teammates and coach. I am looking for an outstanding environmental science program and a soccer team that will help me be the best player I can be while sharing in the excitement of great teammates and coaches and a winning program.
As a student I:
- am currently ranked 18th in my class of 471 and have a 4.5 GPA in the IB program at Page High School
-am a rising junior and am currently considering environmental sciences/biology -- I am considering a career like Eco Consultant, in which I can help businesses focus more on sustainability and use their leadership to help turn around our environmental problems
As a player I:
-enjoy stepping up to the role of playmaker and love the game most when we're making great connections with passes in triangles, switching the field and through balls
- have played in both holding and attacking midfield roles (and outside mid) and transition comfortably depending on what my team needs. Generally, I like to recover the ball and move forward on the attack by passing, switching the ball or taking up space on the dribble.
-spend time training on my own with footwork drills, striking practice, strengthening my left foot and taking speed and strength to the next level
-in the next season, my goal is to increase the number of shots I take and "hunt the goal" more. I am also working on being more "slippery" and separating from my defender.
I am excited to grow and develop more as a student and player and to determine which colleges are a great fit for me! Here is a recent performance evaluation written by Coach McGuiness of Virginia Commonwealth: https://mycamp.exactsports.com/pr_share/58577/93eb45ae-94f9-449a-bfbd-a3055f1b9b81
