Personal Statement
My name is Ella Offen and I have been playing soccer since I was 4 years old. I am an all-around player. I can play defensively, taking away the line, tracking the offense down, and serving balls down the line. I can also play offensively, using my speed for through balls, crossing balls into the box, and taking shots. Because of soccer, I have learned the skills of leadership, teamwork, and persistence. The reason I enjoy this sport is because of the determination when fighting for a ball, the adrenaline before playing a competitive opponent, the pure excitement of winning a game or scoring a goal, and lastly, the gratitude for using my talents to play for God. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to become a better athlete and learn new skills. Ultimately, I am ready to play at a high level and see what God's plan for me is in the future.
