2023 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Excels on teams that require a strong defense and a fearless goalkeeper...
I am an All-American Youth Soccer, and ECNL/RL player who has always played up on teams, and who aspires to attend a D1 University and to go on to become a professional Goalkeeper. I am an honor roll student with an entrepreneurial spirit. I feel like I have to be more aggressive when I play in goal. I'm a hard worker when I need to be, but I also like to have fun.
As a person I strive to be better, and to not make the same mistakes that I have already made. I can connect with my team mates, and I build trust with my team mates. When I am playing for my teams, and it is a big moment, I tend to be a lot more focused, because I realize how big an opportunity these events are. When a player scores on me, I get upset, but I also try to shake it off. I try to be a leader on the field, and I strive to be the best Goalkeeper that I can possibly be. I also believe that I can help my teams become better, as I have always been on teams, where they needed a good goalkeeper. The teams weren't always the best, but I knew that I could help the team out so they could become better.
When it comes to Goalkeepers, I try to be like Edwin van der Sar who was a Manchester United and Ajax Goalkeeper. He was one of the best Goalkeepers of all time. To date, I have made in excess of 2,500 saves in 200+ games, and have maintained an overall save rate of 86% since I started playing Goalkeeper at age 8.
From an academic standpoint, I would like to go to school for business, and would eventually like to start my own company. In fact, I started my own business in 2023 as a thirteen year old, buying and selling sports cards both online via eBay, but also at card shows. I also have an English father and great grandparents who were Irish.
In conclusion, I would like the opportunity to play for a college team, where I can help them grow and win.
