Next Level U Statement
I am a left-footed 2026 graduate interested in playing soccer at a 4 year institution that not only has a good soccer program, but a quality education. I am an asset to every team I am on – I am a vocal leader on and off the field, and I apply my high Game-IQ into my on-field-personality. I stand out with my technical ability, and belief in finding the ‘simple yet most effective option’ in order to progress through the field. I have been working with strength and conditioning coaches for many years, and use my strength to regain and maintain possession of the ball. I know and demonstrate the importance of ‘tempo’ during final acts, and my ability to read the momentum of my opponents allows me to successfully take opponents on 1v1. Beneath that all, I am a team player who understands the importance of off-the-ball movement for the benefit of the team (especially as an attacking mid).
