Personal Statement
I started playing soccer at a young age (6 years old) at the YMCA. The main reason I was interested was when I was little in Germany, my home country, the coolest thing in pre-school was to play soccer. I remember watching the 2008 world cup with my grandfather and that was when I knew I wanted to play soccer.
One of the main things I've learned through soccer is that if you put in enough work you can beat anyone you play against. For several years, I was the worst player on my team but I was always training the most. Due to my size and dedication, I've now worked my way up to being one of the best on my team. This is what I've learned about myself through years of playing soccer.
