Va Rush-WBHS 2025Va. Rush U17GVirginia Rush/Wes...Capital Fall 24Labor Day ShootoutLouisiana South R...Personal Statement
In fifth grade, my school counselor began talking to students about career goals. At the age of 10, I wasn't sure what career path I was going to choose, but I knew I loved soccer. As I played soccer and watched soccer on television, I told myself I had to work harder than anyone else to be accepted into the college of my choice and play soccer at the collegiate level. I began participating in club soccer with recreation soccer mixed in-between. I wanted to make sure I filled every gap in my schedule with training and games so that I could compete with top players. As I moved up academically, I made the junior varsity soccer team as a starter in the 8th grade. My freshman year, I was a starter and the only freshman to make the varsity soccer team. I have continued to play varsity soccer, as a starter, my sophomore year and as a starter and team captain my junior year. On top of soccer, I played middle school football in 8th grade and JV football in 9th and 10th grade as the team kicker. I also participated in varsity swim my freshman, sophomore, and junior year. Participating in multiple sports has allowed me to continue strength training and remain in top shape. I set goals and accomplish them by making good choices and accepting guidance and support from those who care and believe in me the most. I have grown as a soccer player as well as an individual due to my commitment to academics and sports. I have found that my personality allows me to build relationships easily and my tough skin allows me to not be discouraged when things don't go as planned. I have been described as dedicated, hardworking, personable, a good listener, and a person that can provide laughter when needed. These character traits allow me to be a positive influence on my teammates on and off the field. As I continue to grow, I know I will only become a better person and player. I would love the opportunity to attend a college that embraces my personality, academic achievements, and athletic talents and allows me to be a part of a team that breaks records.

- Camp/Event
- Kohl's Kicking Camp-Football
- 6/20/23 to 6/20/23
- This camp's major focus is on training and improving but we will chart campers at this camp. Kohl's is actively searching the country for the best prospects. A strong Kohl's philosophy is that every kicker be exposed to punting. Andy Kohl went to college a kicker and left a punter. If an athlete has good leg speed they should be able to be proficient at both disciplines when proper technique is applied. Most high school and college coaches will value a specialist more if they are able to do both the kicking and punting for their teams. We want to expose each kicker to both disciplines. In the previous 9 years we have had a few athletes that want to just focus on punting. We have tried to create a flexible schedule where the pure punters come to camp at 11:30 warm-up, get filmed, and join the camp for the afternoon session. The one day camp is a great way to get expert coaching and training in a short time period. The major difference between the 1 day and 2 day camps is the amount of time to practice and execute drills. The core fundamentals and coaching will be the same. 1-DAY CAMP SCHEDULE *Schedule may change, or be adjusted. Please ask the lead coach on-site.
