Dear coaches, playing soccer in college hasn't always been my #1 goal. Soccer is my longest and truest passion and I work as hard as I do out of pure love for the game, not for the sole purpose of using it to get into a good college. I want soccer to take me as far as it can in life, if that ends in college, or ends in a professional career I will be happy, however I know that my soccer career will not end in high school. I am a hard worker, a leader, a dependable and consistent player. My reading of the game, vision, and awareness allows me to play a number of positions in the middle of the field from striker, to anywhere in the midfield, to center back. Playing in those positions not only require me to be physically fit, they also require me to be technical on and off the ball. I make plays by beating a man, by using my range of passing, with my run making or trademark one-two runs up the field. I am very creative on the ball and in possession yet I consider myself a defensive minded player. My reading of the game allows me to regularly make interceptions and put in hard tackles in the midfield, or play center back at a high and consistent level, winning 90% of my aerial battles in either position. I will put my body on the line for the team and will run through a brick wall if you ask me to. Off the field I am a leader as well. I have a very clean lifestyle in which I'm focused on my future and I keep myself in line and on track. I'm excited to meet you.
