Personal Statement
During my life, I have dedicated most of my time to soccer. I train since I was eight and I have always had the goal of becoming a professional soccer player in a recognized league. Despite the fact that multiple soccer clubs have told me to play for them, I have always played in the same team because other team's training schedules required that I missed school in the morning. Club Regatas has always supported me and that is another reason why I stayed at this club, as a way of showing gratitude and loyalty.
For my parents and me, it is of great importance that I finish school and go to university, therefore, my current goal is to study in an NCAA Division 1 university with a soccer scholarship. This will allow me to continue the process of becoming an outstanding professional goalkeeper by playing the sport I love competitively, while I study the career of my preference.
As an athlete, I am the captain of my team, I have been selected to the U-13 Peruvian national team in 2015, I have been called to the U-15 Peruvian national team once in 2017, and to the U-17 Peruvian National team multiple times in 2018. In 2018 I was recognized as the best goalkeeper of the Liga de San Isidro. On the other hand, as a student, I have always been in the upper third of my promotion, I have been a Prefect and the Captain of my house.
Moreover, some qualities that best describe me are perseverance, determination, and passion. I train 5 days a week and I just do not want my training to end. I give 200% every time I am training because I will achieve my goals. I am a hard worker and a leader because I am never absent at training and I transmit my will. Sometimes, even the coaches do not let me train and make me do some regenerative workouts.
Furthermore, nowadays goalkeepers must be good not only stopping shots but at playing with their feet. I believe that I am good at that and at communicating with my team, mostly the defense line. My speed of reaction and my agility complement each other, making me efficient at solving quick plays. My leg strength makes up for my short height and allows me to reach difficult shots.
Finally, I can say that thanks to my qualities I am a complete and hard worker goalkeeper and student, who does not believe in the impossible.
