Personal Statement
I come from Argentina where soccer is very valued and everybody watches it. I have played soccer basically since I started walking.
In my past, I excelled in both school and my playing abilities. As I grow as a person, and a player, I become more and more ready for my next challenge, which I consider to be higher education, playing with people of my level, and eventually reaching my goal: being a professional soccer player.
In Argentina I played in a lot of competitive tournaments. My team won the River Cup which was a national amateur tournament that was played in River Plate Stadium. I have achieved everything I set my mind to, and I am ready for more.
I play with my heart on my sleeve; I give it everything I got every match, without fail. I motivate my team; I make sure we all know we are one by celebrating every goal, but also sharing the blame. As much as I love playing, I always understand I am part of something greater. For me, there is nothing more sacred than the bond between a player and his teammates.
I am the right candidate because I truly love soccer. I feel it and I live by it. I know you should pick me because I know how to handle the ball and, inside the field, I give it all for my team. I walk inside the field, and I am my true self. If anything is wrong in or with my team, I will do whatever is possible to fix it and push forward; I care about my team and my teammates, because I know that, together, we can achieve anything.
