Personal Statement

My biggest strengths are my vision and distribution. I am able to thread penetrative through balls, make my team tick, and pick accurate long passes to switch the play.

I also work very hard for my team. My coaches know me as a box-to-box midfielder, and I contribute to both offensive and defensive plays. I am not reluctant to track back in the least; my defensive positioning is great.

I think my determination both on and off the pitch make me different from other players. I work hard and aim to excel both on the soccer field and in the classroom, and thus I feel American colleges are the perfect fit for me. I have played in many continents, under many coaches, and in many systems; I know I can adapt well to whatever the needs of my team and coach in America will be. 

I want to play soccer at a competitive level, and study at an academically strong university. I want to find the right environment for me so that I can push myself in all aspects of my life and see how far I can really go.
