I am a very energetic person who thrives on competition and remains calm when in pressure situations. I understand defenses because I play Center Back and Goalie and excel in both. My height and body size have me at an advantage to others , but have excellent speed combined with great hand and eye coordination. I have even been asked to be the Varsity football field goal, place kicker, and punter because of my leg strength. Making the Varsity soccer team as a Freshman was a great accomplishment, but I am continuing my development in many ways including with my Elite Club Team (FC POCONO ELITE) and ODP. After traveling to Scotland with ODP I had the chance to see techniques not seen here in the United States. Since my arrival on the club team we have gone from MAPS, to EDP and have moved up three divisions there. We enter many tournaments and recently took second at a tournament in Teaneck NJ on January 21, 2018. Our Varsity soccer team made it to districts the furthest in team history and now will be considered a threat to all teams in the region. I am consistently placing in the top 25% in grades even while taking all honors classes and have been chosen for student of the month. The balance between athletics and education is very important along with advancing myself socially and intellectually.
Thank you for your consideration
