Personal Statement
Soccer is my whole world, my greatest passion. As a child I trained athletics. I was a great sprinter and I won many medals. However, when I finally started training soccer is when I felt truly alive. I knew right away that this is what I must do for the rest of my life. Soccer has been my motivation to be a better student, because I realized that in order to play for the college’s varsity team, you have to be able to maintain a certain GPA. Which, I have maintained and over passed. I am straight-left hand/legged. I am tall and firm in duels and jumping. I have very good technique, a hard and precise shot, short and long passes and good vision of the field. Every time I play a game, I lay my heart out on the field and I give it everything I have. Even during a losing game. The more I practice, the better I will become and all the hard work will pay off in many victories. I have learned to take risks in this sport and in life. And that’s all life is about, taking risks and trying to reach the stars. I come from a highly-rated soccer nation (Croatia) and I want to play a big part in US soccer in the future.
