2020 SkillsPersonal Statement
I have had the opportunity of playing for Coach Rolko this past season as a Freshman at Lake Erie College.
After this first season, my game has improved. I have become a better and more mature player. And I have the discipline to continually work on my game. My understanding of the game has increased significantly. I am now a much stronger keeper that can help lead a team.
Not only have I improved but I know what it takes to keep getting better and bring a strong work ethic as I move forward in my college career. My experience with Lake Erie not only showed me what it takes to play in college but gave me the building blocks to move forward.
I was also able to achieve a 3.0 GPA while making the adjustment to college and training every day.
I am looking for the right opportunity that will help with life after college while still being able to play soccer.

Physical Abilities - 84 / 100 Speed - Great speed overall, in particular when running into space. Will be an important asset going forward. Agility - Showed good agility.

Great job staying focused on the task at hand. Confidence - Great confidence, didn’t shy away when challenged at camp and played with a sense of urgency. Coach's Comments Zachary has a lot of potential. He was one of the youngest Gk's in the group and still held his own. He is a very confident young man and is not afraid to take charge in the back. Technically he still needs to improve but his athleticism is there. With proper training and commitment, I could definitely see Zach playing at the next level.
