2022 Sporting Kaw...Personal Statement
I am a Junior at Shawnee Heights High School, and made varsity keeper both my freshman and sophomore year. I have been playing soccer since I was 4 and have been a keeper for over 10 years. I would love to play at the college level because I enjoy the relationships that are developed with my teammates. As a keeper I value being a leader for my team by encouraging, communicating, and being resilient. I have high expectations when it comes to academics, I currently have a 4.0 GPA. I am self-motivated and have a solid work ethic both on and off the field. I am always striving to add new skills and talents to my life and look forward to the challenges collegiate level athletics will present me.
