Personal Statement

My future goal is to play soccer and/or basketball at a college level with an eye on pursuing a professional career.   My academic pursuit is to study criminology with the purpose of working in law enforcement.    I am also interested in Sports Management and Business.  

I am a good team candidate because of my training ethics and team participation.  I am not different than any other competitive athletic student, in my pursuit of excellence in my sports through dedication, hard work and training.  I have received numerous sport awards in school. 

I am a duel sport athlete also playing competitive basketball at school and in private club.  I played Junior and Senior soccer in the same year for two years, was on the high school junior basketball travel team and played  tier 2 club soccer.  In 2021 I played on VI Surf U21  Elite training team.  We played a few games but U21 was shut down due to covid restrictions.  I registered for U21 Spring training with Surf .  

I have  trained with Whitecaps Academy (BC's MLS soccer club)  from 2016-2019, attending their residential camp in the summer of 2018.  In 2019 season, I was  invited to practise with our Island Tier 1 BCSPL Wave team in Victoria with the purpose of being assessed for the team.  I declined their offer as they had a one sport policy.    So I continued with VIPL Tier 2.   We went to the Provincials. 

 I have worked as a deckhand on a clam skiff and in a seafood processing plant and retail store.  Summer 2020 I worked for Amazon. Currently working for Coca Cola in the loading warehouse  

 In August 2021, I injured my ACL, had surgery in February 2022.   Due to this injury I was unable to play soccer during my senior year of highschool.  I am two month ahead of schedule in my recovery.  I continue to weight lift, speed train, and have started endurance training approximately 15 hours a week.   The forecast is I should be ready for full play in Sept 2023.  

I am a good candidate for your team as  I am a committed and driven athlete pushing myself through additional training, to further myself in the field of athletics and wishing  to attending a college that will give me the academic education I am looking to pursue.
