Personal Statement

My collegiate goal is to play at the highest level of soccer while getting the education and experience to lead me towards future goals.  At this time (freshman year) I have not made up my mind what major or direction that will be. And I always want to improve as a student and an athlete.

When playing in games, I focus on controlling the middle of the field.  I am fast and aggressive and usually stronger than my opponent challenging for the ball.  One of my strengths is my soccer IQ and awareness on the field   When opportunities come, I can dribble and drive into the box to create chances.  I also love to set players up by feeding through balls and crosses.  Depending on the game, I take free kicks and corners but can also challenge with headers at the goal.  Defensively I will sometimes drop back to the six, and I am always looking to attack goal kicks at midfield. Lastly, my different teams and trainers have taught me how to play fast and aggressive as well as a ball possessing style of play.

I always do my best and bring a tremendous work ethic whether it be a game, training, weight room, or classroom.  I respect my teammates, coaches and teachers and try to lead by example on and off the field.   Throughout the year I volunteer for various community service events for moms Allstate office. During the summer I am a counselor for the local 4h camp and last year also worked 2 soccer camps (The Soccer Factory ).
