Personal Statement
I have played center back since fifth grade on three different club teams. My current team lacked offense and instead relied on defense to get us through games. My coach decided to change things up and put me at attacking midfield at the top of the diamond. I was able to distribute the ball forward and get shots off. Currently, my coach puts me at striker in hopes of scoring as many goals as possible. In four months I have scored about ten goals, including two hat-tricks. I am a versatile player and a dedicated teammate who will give everything to help my team be successful. I am passionate about soccer and am always looking for more opportunities to improve my physical and mental game. I am looking for a college that will encourage me to get better both in academics and on the field. I am always looking for insight on how to play faster and smarter, and I want to be in a community where there is drive and passion that makes all teammates strive to be their best.
