Personal Statement

Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. 

I've been playing soccer since I was seven years old. I've played on a number of teams where I have always challenged myself to be the best and most skilled on the field. I continue to work hard and hope that I can eventually make it to the collegiate level. To get there, I work on the key elements:

Technical


  • Train year-round and at least five days a week doing footwork and drills with both feet

  • Can juggle over 500+ touches with both feet

  • Focus on strong first touch and accurate passing


Tactical


  • Work on positioning with and without the ball to support play

  • Can play a variety of positions:  forward, defending & attacking mid as well as center defense 

  • Understand when to take space versus passing

  • Know when to make overlapping runs

  • Watch a lot of soccer on TV to see how the professionals position themselves and attack as well as review my games

 

Athleticism


  • Do private speed and strength twice a week & group training twice a week

  • Work on both upper and lower body exercises to improve strength and balance

  • Speed & strength training has helped me be stronger on the ball and have endurance to play full 90 minute games without being subbed out

 

Coachability


  • Lead by example in practices and games 

  • Always attentive to coaching points - try to apply them immediately

  • Communicate with fellow teammates on positioning and tactics during games


Desire to win


  • I never give up.  No matter the score, I don’t stop until the final whistle blows.  During the final minutes of PaWest State Cup Finals,  my team was down 1-0. With 2 seconds left, I scored.  We played double over-time and we scored again.  My team went on to win and placed third in the Regional Championship.  Never, ever give up.

  • Because I started school early, I was often the youngest varsity player during my freshman year.  As you can tell from my highlight videos, I do not let age/size differences intimidate me. 

  • First at practices and games: I'm eager to always learn and can often watch older practices/games that are ahead of me.  I like to take mental notes of what the older players are doing well and how I can apply that to my game.


Lastly, I like to play a possession style game because it showcases my technical footwork and tactical knowledge. My ability to make accurate one- and two-touch passes fit well into that style of game.

I'm also very strong with my academics.  I'm carrying a 4.49 GPA.  I took all honors classes available during both my Freshman, Sophomore and Junior years (Advanced Chemistry, Geometry, English, and Civics/World History).  As a Senior, I take 2 AP classes and 2 Honors classes.  I am also dual enrolled in a local university.  I plan to major in Exercise Science/Biology in college with plans to attend Medical School.

Overall, I'm confident that my skills, training, dedication, attitude and academics, will make me a good fit for the right college soccer program.

I'm excited to take my game to the next level. If you think I would be a good fit for your team,  please contact me!
