2020 Highlights
2020 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I began playing soccer in Atlanta, Georgia when I was 5 years old in the Upward Soccer program. In 2012, I moved to Meridian, ID where I continued in the Upward Soccer program and also began playing in the Meridian PAL (Police Activities League) and an Indoor Soccer league at the Idaho Soccer Center for three years. In 2015, I moved to Johnson City, TN and continued to play Indoor Soccer as well as in a Parks and Recreation league. Later, I began playing on the FC Dallas TRI travel team. I began on a competitive team and then advanced to the select team in 2016 and then later on the premiere team. In 2017, I was invited to train in the Olympic Development Program (ODP) for the Tennessee State Soccer Association and was selected as the goalkeeper on the top team for the 2018 season and then represented the Tennessee ODP team at the 2018 ODP Regional Camp at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. In 2018, I was invited to join the FC Alliance Black 04 ENPL team in Knoxville, TN and currently playing goalkeeper for this team. In 2019, the FC Alliance team became part of the Southeast Conference of the Elite Clubs National League (ENCL). I also played goalkeeper for the Science Hill High School varsity team in the spring 2019 season in Johnson City, TN and was the only freshman to make the varsity team. I was the starting goalkeeper in the 2019 spring season. I was invited for two INVITE ONLY ID sessions for the Atlanta United FC Academy in February/March 2019.
I have a deep passion for the game and have used every opportunity in each of these three states to develop my soccer and leadership skills. I am a team player and I understand that the contributions of every player on the team results in a team that is successful.
I am deeply committed to my academics and studies and realize that to be successful in life means that education has to be high on my list of achievements. I have a deep respect for my country and want to continue to grow to make this world a better place for all citizens. I welcome the opportunity to discuss my soccer interests and life skills interests at your convenience. I look forward to hearing from you.
