Personal Statement
My name is Arthur. I'm leaving in the south of France near Montpellier. I haven been playing soccer since I 'm 6 years old. Soccer is a passion and my dream is to become professionnal soccer player. I know this is really challenging but it's important to set agressive goal! Sky is the limit!!
In 2020 I have played @ national level, U17 category, the highest level in France for a young player like me, in a group with clubs such as Olympique de Marseille, OGC Nice or Saint Etienne, very well known professionnal soccer clubs in France. Obvioulsy, because of the pandemic we didn't finish the season and you can imagine I'm a bit frustrated!
Next year (2021/2022 season) will be my last high school year in France (Terminale - senior high school/L12 USA equivalent) and then I will have to start a new project with an university (I want to do business/management school/university). By staying in France and If I want to make such studies I will probably have to be less engaged from a soccer point of view... The french system is not so flexible than the US one and it's almost impossible to manage sport @ high level and great studies in the meantime...
I want to continue my dream and play soccer @ a high level and in the meantime I want to manage my studies... I have great results @ school and be recruited by a college in the USA will be a great opportunity for me and will allow me to tie with my goals. I will learn another langage, another culture, will be graduate from a US college. This is a unique chance for me and a great opportunity to add value to my profile. On the other side I will bring my soccer experience and will continue to grow and play soccer with new teammates in a high competitive environnement with the GOAL to play at the highest level possible!
I'm more than motivated to be successfull in this new journey!!
