Game Highlights #2
2015 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am a very dedicated student athlete who strives to play at the highest levels in soccer. I am currently on the MD ODP team for 2015 and my one of my goals is to make the Region 1 team. I also had 2 years experience (U14&U15) with DC United Pre-Academy. I would love the opportunity to play college soccer and possibly at the professional level. Recent article for you to read about my play:
http://www.soccerwire.com/news/virginian-elite-showcase-in-focus-u-19-division-shows-depth-breadth-of-dmv-area-talent/?loc=psw
I am technically sound with my ball skills and work everyday to improve. I have played every position on the field except for goalie and I am a student of game;studying the greatest players in the world to help improve my game.
My character is sound. With my father being a Police Officer there was little room for error and I am an obeyer of the rules set before me. I am very involved in my two younger sisters soccer development and have seen them rise to being the top players on their respective teams.
My academics are an area I need to improve upon. I made the decision in high school to challenge myself by taking AP and Honors classes. I am looking forward to improving in the up coming semesters as now I realize how important and competitive it is to get into college.
I look forward to speaking with all the coaches that maybe interested in my skill set and would appreciate the opportunity to simply speak with any college coach.
