2017 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My passion for soccer started at age 5 playing in our local youth league. It was in those early years that my speed, quick reflexes and dribbling skills gave me an advantage and made me stand out among my peers.
I started playing club soccer at age 9 in San Antonio, which gave me motivation to continue the sport. In Middle School I loved playing Basketball and running Track, but my love was still Soccer. After playing for Alamo City Soccer Club for years I switched to Classics Elite in Fall 2017 as their trainer, Coach Arthur Salazar, was already talking to me about playing for him at Our Lady of the Lake University. Unfortunately the team didn't have a full roster and with no Goal Keeper we were not as competitive as I was hoping. My old coach from Alamo, Coach Edy Hernandez, called this past June to see if I was interested in playing for him at River City SC. We have been practicing all summer and I'm excited about this season as we have a strong, fast team.
My goal is to continue my journey and excel athletically and academically at a top school.
