2017 Highlights
2016-2017 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My goal is to get a great education so that I can build for my future. I also want to have a complete college experience.
For someone with a fairly tall, I consider myself to be very fast and quick on my feet. My height and vertical leap allow me to get above most other players in the air as well. Getting low to the ground is something I also pride myself on. Slide tackles are my specialty, and being able to make a tackle on a striker in the open field is one of my favorite parts of defending. I am a leader on the field, even when we are losing I do not lower my head or give up. I known when to have fun, and when to take the game seriously. When my club team is in need of a goal late in a game, I will move to striker. My goal is to play college soccer and to play for a program where I can contribute to the overall team success.
