Zach Finnegan Tul...Personal Statement
I live and love soccer!
And I would be blessed to have the opportunity to play through my College career. I am currently a Junior at Enid High School in Enid Oklahoma. I was a starter on my High School JV team as a freshman and Sophomore and received a varsity letter as a sophomore. In addition, I was a starter for both my club team’s last fall.
I have mostly played the following positions; Defending midfielder, center back, and Striker. I love playing defending midfielder, but I am willing to play wherever needed to help the team. I understand soccer is a team sport and it’s not about any one player. I am calm and cool under pressure and prefer to take the winning PK when the match is on the line.
I began a journey of development, which continues to this day. The countless worn-out soccer balls, dead grass, bent soccer goals, shredded nets, tired rebounders, and hours spent in the car driving to and from Oklahoma City (90 minutes each way) for private training and club practice only demonstrates my love and commitment to the game. (see additional training under athletics and camps/tournaments under events).
I currently have a cumulative GPA of 3.81, but due to Covid-19 I have not yet taken the ACT or SAT. My college goal is to graduate with a bachelor’s degree, but as a High School student I have several interests and have not yet narrowed down a major.
Soccer brings joy to my life. I cannot imagine a day without a little soccer, whether through training, practicing at home, or just juggling anytime there’s a ball around or anything resembling a ball. I live for the beautiful game.
