melina russell fi...Personal Statement
Hi, I'm Max and my life goals are much like my goals on the hockey field - I want to help others become better and happy. As much as I like to score, I enjoy it more when I provide an assist to a teammate. I have been playing over 10 years and still remember my first goal playing in CalCup with U10 Ventura Roadrunners. My current club is Doral and travel with both Florida United U16 (#10 ranked) and U19 (#22 ranked), which I lead both in scoring and assists. I have scored over 260 goals with over 65 assists in the past 5 years. I hope to continue playing in college and perhaps help my second country, Peru, make it to the Olympics. My career goals are to go into a field where I can help and support others in environmental or health services.
