Personal Statement
I want to play college soccer because I want to continue to play the sport I love after high school and play at a very high and competitive level. I want to continue to grow and improve as a player into my college years, because you can never stop improving. Also I’ve heard that playing college soccer is almost like a job and that is something I’d love.
I feel I would succeed in collegiate soccer because I’m an extremely hard worker that will bring 100% effort and focus to both soccer and my education; training every single day to either improve on skill, speed, or strength. I am also a very coachable player, always listening to input from coaches to apply to my game. I also have a very competitive nature and great character, with good habits that will benefit me in the college environment. Furthermore, my distribution and accuracy of passing the ball is a definite strength when I play. Also, I am a very aggressive player, have great movement on and off the ball, making well timed runs, and create game changing opportunities. I also have good footwork and ball handling skills. I'm also a very versatile player with my main positions being outside defense(2 and 3) and winger(7 and 11), but can also play defensive and attacking midfield(6,8, and 10)
