Kacper Kurgan 201...Personal Statement
I am an 18-year-old Freshman attending CCSU. I grew up loving soccer. I always had a ball near me when I was little. I started playing soccer on a team when I was 6. And from that point, I have greatly increased in skill every season. I have been playing premier for the past 6 years. I am hoping that I will be able to use this experience with me to play at a higher level.
What makes me unique as a soccer player is my physicality, speed, stamina, and first touch. My physicality is unique because I can very easily push a player off of me and very rarely do players power through me. I have a very strong header and shot. I am also a very fast player. I can run 100 meters in 12.7 seconds. Also in addition to the speed, I’m pretty agile so I can quickly stop and change direction. In addition, I have great stamina. I can last for at least 75 minutes and still not be too tired to keep playing. Lastly, I have a good first touch. I can take a touch from a high long ball and bring it instantly to the ground. I think ahead with my first touch and I take a touch in the direction I already know I want to go.
I play mostly offensive positions. Positions like Winger (7/11), Forward(9), and Attacking Midfielder(10).
I am not only a good athlete but I’m also a good student. My cumulative GPA is 4.2 and I have taken 3 AP classes and currently am taking 2 more. In school I always get my homework done and I am almost never absent. I like school and I realize how important it is.
