Personal Statement

It is an exciting time for me now to be researching colleges and finding a great home for my future. I am a two sport athlete that is currently playing at the highest level nationally for Soccer with the Real Socal U19 Academy (USSDA) and also a Varsity Kicker in Football at Canyon High School. I have grown up playing soccer since age 3 and have been fortunate enough to play all over the world despite only being 16 years old. I recently moved back to the U.S. after playing my Freshman year of HS in Milan, Italy. I am a dual citizen in the U.S./Italy which allowed me this opportunity. I have also played in Spain, England and Central America. 2018 was my first year ever playing organized football and I was overwhelmed with the success that I had. As a Sophomore, I was able to help my team with FG/KO/P and earned SCVAL All Conference. Additionally, I was asked to attend the Chris Sailer Kicking School and after evaluation became the #3 ranked kicker in CA and #13 Nationally. As a Junior with continued hard work in the classroom and on the field I achieved MaxPreps 1st Team Junior All-American and MaxPreps 1st Team CA All-State honors. This motivates me to continue to develop myself with hard work and dedication that has been instilled in me from my Dad who was also a College Football player. I am the type of kid and player that has all of the mental tools and toughness along with a never quit attitude. I am extremely coachable and believe in the 10,000 hour theory. I know that I would be a great asset to any college program that wants the ultimate competitor who is a good person to others. I really look forward to these next years and continuing to get better as a son, student and athlete. Thank you for your consideration.
