Next Level U Statement

Academically, my objective is to pursue a post-secondary program that challenges me to think critically, develop new skills, and prepare for a successful future career. I am particularly interested in Urban Planning or Sports Management, as both fields align with my interests in community development, athletics, leadership, and teamwork. I aim to maintain strong academic standing while gaining valuable knowledge and experiences that will help me achieve my long-term career goals.

Athletically, my goal is to compete at the highest collegiate level possible while continuing to grow and develop as a player. I take pride in my versatility, adaptability, and willingness to learn, allowing me to contribute wherever my team needs me most. Beyond the game itself, I value the life lessons that come from being part of a competitive team, including leadership, discipline, resilience, and accountability. I see university soccer as an opportunity to challenge myself, learn from others, and develop both as an athlete and as a person.

Academics

I am interested in pursuing post-secondary education in either Urban Planning or Sports Management. Both fields align with my interests and future career goals, and I am excited about the opportunity to further my education while continuing to compete in soccer at the university level.

Kitchener, Ontario
Country
Canada
Recruitment Year
2027
GPA 3.6
Positions:

I am a versatile player who brings a unique combination of skills to the field, playing both striker and centre back. My size, speed, and strength give me a strong advantage in both positions, allowing me to make an impact offensively and defensively. As a striker, I use my physical presence, speed, and determination to challenge defenders, create scoring opportunities, and put pressure on the opposition. As a centre back, I use my strength, positioning, and ability to read the game to win challenges, shut down attacking opportunities, and provide a strong defensive presence. I take pride in my ability to excel in two very different positions and adapt to whatever role gives my team the best chance to succeed. I am confident in what I bring to the field, but I’m also committed to continuing to learn, improve, and push my game to the next level.

Player Style:

I’m a strong, fast, and physical player who brings versatility to the field as both a striker and centre back. I use my size, speed, and strength to win challenges, compete for possession, and make an impact at both ends of the field. I play with confidence, determination, and a team-first mentality, always looking to make a difference wherever I’m needed.

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.
