Personal Statement

As a soccer player with a passion for the sport and a drive for academic excellence, I am excited to share my personal statement with college coaches. Growing up in a sports-loving family, I have always been drawn to the competitive nature of sports. It wasn't until I started playing soccer as a young girl, however, that I truly found my calling. The rush of scoring a goal, delivering key passes, or making a crucial tackle was unlike anything I had experienced before, and I quickly fell in love with the sport.

Through playing soccer, I have learned many valuable life lessons, including the importance of teamwork, perseverance, and hard work. I have also developed a sense of discipline and dedication that has carried over into other areas of my life, including academics. My academic goals for high school and college are to maintain a high GPA while pursuing a degree in a field that aligns with my passions and interests.

Like many athletes, I have faced obstacles, challenges, and setbacks along the way.  These challenges, however, have fueled my determination to succeed and have taught me the importance of resilience and perseverance. Additionally, I believe that my unique combination of athleticism, work rate, leadership skills, and academic strength sets me apart as a valuable recruit. I am excited for the opportunity to continue my soccer career at the collegiate level while also pursuing my academic goals.
