Personal Statement
By this time next year, I will have completed 4 years of varsity soccer in one of the best programs in Pennsylvania. I will have lettered for 3 years, two as a starter and anticipate being a captain my senior year. In high school, I play outside back. In club, I am a striker. This past club season, as a team captain, I had 11 goals and 7 assists in 12 games. One of those goals came against #15 ranked Beadling in the PA West Cup semi-final game. This fall, I started all 19 games at outside back for Peters Township. Our defense allowed less than 1 goal/game. I scored 7 goals and had 6 assists. One of those goals was the game winner in the first round of the WPIAL playoffs. I have done well playing with and against many players who went on to play Division I soccer.
My main asset is my speed. I was our team's top 100 meter sprinter as a freshman in high school but gave up track to concentrate on club soccer. I have been concentrating on academics in order to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA. I am 100% certain that I want to continue to enjoy the game of soccer at the highest level possible while earning my college degree.
