James Gray - Socc...Personal Statement
My dream is to play Division 1 soccer at a great U.S. college. But, as my parents say, "Dreams don't work unless you do". That's what makes me a good candidate and makes me different from other recruits -- my work ethic.
I train hard every day, both at soccer and academically. If there's no club or academy practice I train on my own. If there's no school, I do extra math or reading.
I also try to be a critical thinker. I am not afraid to take on new challenges and am very open to learning new ways to train and improve. I think the best players, and students, are the ones who can think outside the box.
