March/April Highl...
Riverhounds Three...Personal Statement
I have always been very passionate about soccer, I've been playing since I was little. I am a very aggressive player and I'm always pushing myself to help my team win. I am dedicated to soccer and always putting in the extra practice during and off season to become a better player. I have been a Varsity starter for my high school team for the last two seasons, this year I played as a central defender, but I can play other positions such as a center forward and a defensive mid. I am currently playing for the Pittsburgh Hotspurs 04/05 Blue team and I am pushing myself at every practice to become better mentally and physically. I am a player that will push through when I'm tired and will keep going until I achieve what I need to. I love to play soccer and have fun, but I know when I need to get focused and do my best for my team. I am always helping my team mates when they need it, and cheering them on.
