Personal Statement

Hi Coaches,

My passion for soccer began when I was four years old while playing in Minnesota. I was a multi-sport athlete (soccer, hockey, and swimming) until a few years ago. Once my family moved to Texas, I decided to play year round soccer. In my off time, I volunteer at Boys Team Charity within my local community. Helping others and helping to improve my community is important to me.

I am looking to further my education and soccer skills at the college level. My education is very important to me, and I have obtained straight A’s in all of my classes including Honors and AP classes. I consider myself a leader on the field and in the locker room. My coaches say I am highly coachable and a practice warrior with a high soccer IQ. I have a strong will to do anything I set my mind to, always give it my all, and I love to win. I currently play center back, will graduate in 2023, and my goal is to make it to the next level to play the game I love.
