Personal Statement

I have been playing soccer since I was six years old. Since I first stepped on the field, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life.

I have an excellent work ethic and dedication to improving my skills. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest working players and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.

In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a high GPA. I serve as a youth soccer coach for my club team and active in my community through volunteering and charity organizations.

I am a Freshman College Athlete who pushes myself in the classroom and on the field. I was a dual sport athlete (Soccer/Football) in high school and open to all options to find the right college match at the highest level of competition to continue my collegiate career. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud.
