2021 Spotlight
2020 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Dear coaches,
My goal is to play as goal keeper at the highest level while getting the best education suited for me.
My father is Dutch and grew up playing and living "football" with Johan Cryuff as a childhood hero, so it has been a part of our lives ever since I can remember. My mom would say I was born with a soccer ball attached to my foot!
I have played soccer since I was five years old, been in goal from about 10, and have a true love of the game. I have played at the town, high school and club levels and refereed the U8 kids. I believe that most of my coaches would all say that I "see" the game better than most. My dream is to continue playing at the most competitive level possible for as long as I can and later in life to stay involved in the sport in some aspect through my career.
I hope you find my NCSA profile informational, but please let me know if you need additional information or have any questions.
Thank you for your interest and I look forward to hearing from you.
Luke
