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

Notes: Team starter. Typically played entire game in attacking midfield and holding midfield roles. Led the team in recoveries in both the defensive and offensive halves. High pass completion rate. Scored 3 goals (include tournament winning goal) and 4 assists. As far as the team overall, 04G NC Fusion Premier won the Charlotte Invitational Tournament and finished 5th in the NCYSA State Cup, higher than any of the other Premier Division teams. In group play at the State Cup the team lost narrowly, 0-1, to the eventual champions NCFC Elite. The team had a match rained out at the Raleigh Showcase and was in position to win its group the weather meant a game was canceled. With 13 points in divisional play, my team qualified for a spot in the U17 Premier Division for the fall of 2020 season.
