Personal Statement
I have a passion for soccer and have been playing since I was 5 years old. It has taught me so much about working with others, being a leader, and myself. I want to continue playing into college to keep doing what I love while challenging myself and further developing my skills as a player. Having this experience in college would make my time there more meaningful and fun. I'm currently a starter for both my varsity high school team, which I have been on since my freshman year, and for the Metro United travel league.
My strengths as a defender are that I am fearless, hardworking, and I stay determined and focused throughout the game to protect the goal and get the ball back up to my team. My strategy on the field is to always know or pause to see where all the players are before making passes to my teammates. I'm also never afraid to go after the ball, be aggressive, and apply pressure. Finally, I bring a confident and fun attitude to the team to lift everyone up because we’re one team and have to work well together and have fun!
My goal is to play for a college soccer team and to continue growing and developing my skills as a defender. To accomplish this I will keep working hard to train with my travel and high school teams, and take feedback from my coaches and teammates. Also, I want to inspire other younger players to go after their goals, while improving themselves and doing what they love!
