Personal Statement
My name is Philip Petersson Walden. I am an ambitious student & athlete with an extensive international background based on my upbringing which contributes to a global mindset with multicultural influence coupled with a player style personified by game-changing abilities as a playmaker with strong understanding of the game. Having played soccer on a high level across 4 different countries, it gives me a unique view of different player styles and tactics amongst different cultures/personalities and countries/coaches. This has given me the ability to find my own playing style and role for my different teams successfully. My goal is to unleash my potential as a college athlete in North America for the 2022 season.
