2022 SpotlightPersonal Statement
I have played soccer with my family since I was 4, and I have always wanted to play soccer at the highest level possible. As my game has developed to the top league in Ontario, I believe that the NCAA is the next logical step. I am very driven to succeed , and I am told that my will and compete level is what sets me apart. While speed and strength have been the main attributes to my game, during COVID Canada winters I focused on refining my touch and ball handling to an elite level.
I currently play Center Back for Scrosoppi FC in League 1 of Ontario. Previous to this in 2023, I played RB and CB for Milton Showcase, and was co-Captain. A natural right footer, I use both feet equally. In addition to defending with toughness, I enjoy finding the right opportunities to join the attack. Dribbling and shooting with my left foot is nearly equal with my right, and at 6'1" and a solid vertical I win most head balls . I am a constructive communicator, I am a leader, and I have the tools to impact an NCAA soccer team.
At Smithville Christian High, I am currently in grade 12 and have an 89 average. My current career goal is to be in an Education or Sociology program.
