Brandon Varsity H...Personal Statement
My collegiate goals are to play for a college or university that has a competitive engineering program. I believe that I would make a great addition to any program as I bring leadership qualities, enthusiasm, an intensive work ethic, and a strong student of the game. Academically, I take pride in the classroom. As a sophomore I was chosen for my high school's STEM program and have also taken AP U.S. Government, AP Statistics, and AP Calculus. I currently have a 4.01 GPA, a member of the National Honor Society, and a member of Student Leadership. What sets me apart from other athletes is my drive, willingness to learn, and I train like I'm playing in a match.
Words from current/former coaches:
Coach Vacratsis - Vardar Academy Staff Apprentice Coach, Vardar Boys ECNL U-18 Head Coach
"Aaron is a stong leader on and off the soccer field, and has a strong commitment to player and team development. He is primarily a midfielder who can play from box-to-box. Defensively, he is a solid 1v1 defender, and consistently engages in defensive battles. In possession, Aaron is clean technically, and continues to develop playing in combinations and through building phases. Aaron's primary positions are in the midfield as the 6, 8; secondary positions are in the defensive line as a 2, 3."
Coach Lovelace - Brandon High School Boys Varsity Head Coach
"Aaron sets the bar high with his work ethic and positive attitude. He takess care of his teammates on and off the field. Well respected around the league, Aaron has impressed us all with great soccer talent. He will be impossible to replace as a leader, role model, and player."
Coach Burke - North Branch High School Boys Varsity Head Coach
