Personal Statement

Hi, my name is Casey Gorman. I am 16 years old and a sophomore at Mount Lebanon High School. I started playing soccer when I was 5 years old. I immediately fell in love with the sport and started club soccer at 9 years old. Last year, I was the only freshman to make the varsity team, and it was a great experience. This year, I started in every game of the season, and I helped my team get to playoffs for the first time in three years. I currently play for Beadling SC.
I pride myself on my work ethic, passion for the game, and constantly pushing myself to be the best player and teammate I can possibly be. I’m a versatile player and can play anywhere the team needs me most.
School is very important to me. My grades are a top priority, and I’m currently taking honors and an AP class. After I graduate from high school, I want to major in elementary education. It’s always been a goal of mine to play collegiate soccer. I would love to attend a college that offers strong academics so that I can prepare my life as a future teacher and coach while continuing to do what I love most—play soccer!
