Soccer has been a driving force in my life, and as a goalkeeper, it has instilled in me a relentless work ethic, unwavering commitment, athleticism, and a focus on continuous improvement. These qualities transcend the field and fuel my academic and leadership pursuits. Quick thinking, adaptability, and positivity are essential on the pitch, and they’ve shaped me into a disciplined, well-rounded student and leader.
I currently play up for Hamilton United OPDL U16 in Canada, where I challenge myself every day to grow as a player. My dedication to goalkeeping has led me to train with some of the best in the field. I’ve been fortunate to train with Anton Trifonovs at the prestigious (@kronisacademy) Kronis Goalkeeper Academy, traveling great distances to attend their rigorous sessions, and I’ve been selected for their invite only camp for two consecutive years. Additionally, I train with Global Goalkeepers under Rasih Pala and Paolo Ceccarelli in Canada, further honing my technique and pushing myself to be the best I can be. I am ranked 25th with FTF Canada and I have been called up to the U17 PDP National Tournament in August 2025.
I am eager to find a college that aligns with my core values, where I can continue my athletic and academic growth—particularly in a science program that will challenge me and allow me to thrive. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to the opportunity to connect further.
Sincerely,
Sofia Girotti-Switzer
