2019 Highlights2017-18 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I first started playing soccer when I was 5 years old. Since I first stepped on the field, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life.
I have quick movement on and off the ball and I am able to play multiple positions. I try my best to lead my team with example and encourage my teammates on and off the pitch. I am coachable and strive to be the best player I can be. Many members of my team have told me I am one of the most intense people both on the field and in the classroom.
In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a 3.96 GPA. I also volunteer at local youth soccer and basketball camps and have also competed in basketball for as many years as I have soccer.
I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the field, I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud.
Sincerely,
Sam Scheffley
