Personal Statement
Hi!
My name is Ryan. I'm a scholar athlete currently living in Seoul attending Yongsan International School. I am a hard worker both academically and athletically. I really value education with a 4.2 GPA and believe in a good balance between school and extracurriculars. However, soccer is my favorite hobby and pastime, which I strive to go to the next collegiate level in. I believe I make a good match for coaches as a reliable player that is consistent, dedicated, and coachable. Furthermore, my leadership on the field learning from other captains my freshman and sophomore year and then becoming a captain my junior year gives me experience to be a shot caller and helping hand on the field. Beyond those typical qualities that most people say, I think one quality that makes me stand out is my ability to improve. I think I was naturally talented at soccer from a young age, but my passion for the game has been met with continued improvement. I often thought I would stagnate at one skill level, but till this day I see myself getting better at shooting, passing, dribbling, having awareness, and being a valuable player for any team I play for.
