Personal Statement

Dear Coach,

I am excited to share my goals and what makes me a strong candidate for your team.

I have a deep passion for soccer, and throughout my journey, I have had the opportunity to play for high-performance teams such as Volta Redonda FC, a prominent club in Rio de Janeiro. I have served as captain for both Volta Redonda and my current team, Atlético Real, where I learned the importance of leadership and teamwork in achieving success.

Throughout my career, I have won several state and regional championships, including major tournaments, and have been recognized for my performances, such as being named the fastest player in the 2022 Campeonato Carioca and having the most perfect tackles in 2023. This experience has taught me the importance of hard work, discipline, and dedication, qualities I apply in all areas of my life, including academics.

I am also very interested in continuing to learn, particularly in the field of Mathematics. I believe this skill will be crucial for my future career and academic growth, and I am committed to balancing my athletic and academic responsibilities.

I believe that my leadership experience, my eagerness to learn, and my dedication to both sports and academics make me a strong candidate for your team. I am ready to give my best and contribute to the success of your program.

Thank you for the opportunity, and I am available to discuss how I can contribute further to your team.

Sincerely,

Samuel Fernando Cardoso Vieira da Silva
