Personal Statement
I was born in Argentina, I joined the Soccer School of Claudio Marangoni (former professional player) when I was 5 years old. Since then I have been playing soccer almost every day. I also played soccer at my school in Argentina, St. George's College.
In 2016 we moved to the US and I joined Eastern Middle School in Connecticut, I played soccer for the school team and for Shoreline FC. I like the challenges of joining a new team and transitioned very well into the team. The coach gave me a new position, and we have been able to win the State Championship for 2 consecutive years. I played soccer in England as part of the Shoreline FC trip.
I joined the soccer high school team at Greenwich Highschool where we won all the games during 2017/2018 season. During 2018, I went back to Argentina and joined my former Highschool to continue improving soccer and rugby skills. I'm ready for the next step and contribute to a College team. I have demonstrated that I can transition from a team in Argentina to a US team and also different schools in the US. I have been training hard in addition to soccer practice to improve my speed and conditioning
