Personal Statement

Focus, hard work and dedication define everything I do. I have always taken  pride in my schoolwork and my athletic achievements.  Maintaining a high GPA is very important to me.  I do whatever necessary to reach my full potential as a student and athlete.  Doing so allows me to set a positive example as a team leader and be there for my teammates when they need me most. Soccer has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have always enjoyed the game and the competition. It’s a game I love to play and a game that I excel at playing.

I started playing soccer at age 5 and primarily played in defensive positions. As I grew older and moved on to the travel leagues and out of the recreational play, i started to become a more rounded player taking up midfield and attacking roles giving me a broad view of play. I now mainly play forward but am comfortable in any position on the pitch.

I take great pride in being a team leader. I prepare for and expect success; I expect to win.  Winning is an attitude. Winning is part of who I am.  Given the opportunity to continue toward my goal of achieving excellence both in the classroom and on the pitch, doing what I love, would truly be an amazing experience.
