Soccer has always played an integral role in my life. Ever since I turned 3, soccer became the focus of my life. I realized that I had a natural talent and began to try out for high-level teams in my area. Since the age of 8, I have been tested and challenged both physically and mentally from coaches. I had and currently have to prove that I’m not only good enough to perform at a high level but additionally as a top player for a high-level team. That determination has helped me become a top player for the number one team in Ontario, North Toronto Nitros. I have a never-ending commitment when it comes to trying to achieve specific individual and team goals. Some of my top qualities as a player are my awareness and vision, great 1st and 2nd touch. I also can draw fouls and can protect the ball very well while my back is facing goal, an excellent passer/finisher when given the opportunity. I also had the experience playing in Germany over the 2019 March break against 1st division clubs. I remain humble and grounded. I’m willing to sacrifice and work hard for my team, which is one of the reasons why I’m a great candidate for a highly competitive school. Not only am I a great player on the field, but I have excellent social skills when meeting new coaches and teammates in general. This skill is essential because building chemistry between teammates and coaches is a crucial element to having team success and winning championships. My ultimate goal is winning a national championship and fully develop as a player. Also, I regard academics as a high priority. Not only is playing professional soccer my dream career but getting the background education and a degree is an optimal component of why college fits me best.
