Personal Statement
I am a student-athlete who is dedicated to attain success in both the classroom and on the sports fields. I have earned a GPA equivalent of 3.94 whilst starting in the first XI for Millfield School (England), a top-rated national program whose schedule comprises professional academy programs, national teams, select universities and colleges (18-22 years old), and other top performing private and public high school equivalent programs throughout the country.
Soccer has been an instrumental part of my life. I love the game, competition and camaraderie that exists amongst teammates. But more importantly, I have tremendous respect for the game itself— its strategy, its athleticism and its mental fortitude. This respect for the game continues to teach valuable life lessons, including the importance of putting the collective interests of the team before oneself.
Outside of soccer, I have achieved success playing Cricket (first-team for the Richmond Cricket Club), Baseball (Under 15 Great Britain National Team), and Rugby (starting for Ibstock Place School). I have been selected Captain by my coaches and teammates as a result of my leadership skills.
Finally, in the classroom, I have specialised in Mathematics, Economics, and Physical Education for my A-Levels in the UK and will further these studies at university.
I am confident that I will be a productive individual for your university, both on and off the field, and will contribute to the success of the soccer program through commitment, effort, attitude, ability, and overall soccer intellect.
