I am a very dedicated student-athlete who puts a high level of commitment to both my sports and academic efforts. My goal is to play competitive college soccer in the US or Canada. Though the pandemic initially presented a challenge with some of the most significant lock-downs in the world here in Toronto, I’ve never wavered on my commitment to daily training on my own or virtually with my team during the worst days of covid and fortunately back on the pitch today. Though I’ve played in a striker capacity at times, I’ve been predominantly focussed in the past year as a midfielder in both classic CM and CDM roles. I really enjoy my role in helping influence the pace and tempo of the game. As a midfielder it has allowed me to think strategically about the game, anticipating where the play is going at all times. I believe I have a strong soccer IQ in this regard. I consider myself a high energy player with excellent stamina and my midfielder role where I’m quickly switching from offensive to defensive fits my style. Though club/travel soccer is more competitive vs high school in Canada I was a starter in my first year (Gr9) on my high school team. In terms of club soccer, for the past 2 1/2 years, I’ve played year-round for East York Elite 2005 team (co-captain) which plays in the CSL. This is an Ontario multi-region league made up of promoted teams from individual leagues, of which East York is part of the largest and most competitive Toronto Soccer Association (TSA). Previous to that I was part of the Cherry Beach 2005 TSA team and was a captain and voted most valuable player in 2019. As a 12-year-old, I was selected for TSA District Development Team made up of the top 25 players across Toronto and stayed in the program for the allotted 2 years. Though I’ve made OPDL I chose to stay with my current club at the time given the high level of training offered locally. I was also invited and participated in the Ontario Provincial Team tryouts. Though my main passion is soccer I also play on a travel hockey team as a goalie and participate casually in a variety of other sports as time permits.
