Next Level U Statement
Interested in playing soccer at a 4 year institution, while completing a teacher education program. The main objective for myself athletically is to be a impact player through hard work, skill and knowledge on the soccer pitch. As a midfielder, I am the link between the defense and the attack of the game, and am constantly being in a ready position to receive and pass the ball in a calm and collective manner and dictating the tempo of the game. In addition to being the teams core on the pitch, I also consistently provide support and leadership to my teammates.
