Personal Statement

Hi thank you for looking at my profile. My name is Alexander Blanco-Alcala. I have been playing soccer for as long as I can remember, playing on teams with my brothers 4 years older than me since I was 10. I have been playing travel soccer for about 5-6 years which has made me learn the skill gap between players in my area and from other areas. Starting 6th grade I tried out for the middle school team and made it meaning I would face opponets older, stronger, and smarter than me. This pushed me to work harder and try my best during training. I’ve made my Highschool team every year that i’ve tried out although due to covid I was not able to play my freshman year. I came back my sophomore year and made the varsity team but unfortunately tore my mcl. This made me work even harder and that’s when I started working out and getting my muscles stronger. My junior year I started varsity and played all game, I was played at the winger position then moved back to full back. With only 4 games played at full back i made the second team district team. While playing soccer I have been able to maintain a 3.5+ gpa.
