Can speak to my ability to learn/adapt and my dedication.
I am a versatile player who excels as a fullback, wingback, and winger, offering flexibility and reliability on both sides of the pitch. My game is defined by a strong physical and defensive presence, consistent work rate, and tactical awareness. I take pride in my ability to transition quickly between defense and attack, provide width and support in wide areas, and maintain composure under pressure. Whether contributing to the build-up play or locking down my side defensively, I strive to be a dependable, team-first player who adapts to the needs of any match situation.
Player Style:
Whether playing as a fullback, wingback, or winger, I focus on maintaining defensive stability while contributing to the attack through overlapping runs, accurate deliveries, and quick transitions. Above all, I play with intensity and a team-first mindset, always aiming to make a positive impact on both ends of the field.
Player Strengths:
I’m a strong, fast, and defensively smart player who combines physicality with tactical awareness. I take pride in accurate crosses, set-piece delivery, and long throw-ins, while using my speed and defensive IQ to win challenges and support both ends of the field.
Leadership:
I have not formally served as a team captain, but I take pride in leading through communication, effort, and teamwork on and off the field. In addition, I volunteered as a counsellor at a youth summer soccer camp with Football For the World, where I helped coach and mentor young players. That experience strengthened my leadership skills and reinforced the importance of teamwork, positivity, and setting a good example for others.
