Next Level U Statement

I play Centre-back in the OPDL Ontario provincial league with Woodbridge SC. I am over 6’2” & 190lbs at 16 yrs of age.

As a well-rounded student-athlete with an above 3.0GPA I am focused on playing soccer at the varsity level for a 4-year program. I am dedicated student at the Ajax High School with a consistent above 80% average.  I am looking to continue my academic focus in kinesiology or health sciences in university.

As an overview on my profile, I am a versatile athlete, able to adapt to changing situations and training programs. I play Centre-back defense but can easily play fullback if needed for optimum team performance.  My coaches describe me as “easily coachable” and they say that I possess maturity, perseverance and resilience to work through adversity. Technically, I have continued to work on my passing distribution, initiating attacks from the back, speed and winning aerials. The link to my updated profile highlight video will provide you with an overview of how much I have improved in the last year. As a well-rounded student-athlete with an above 3.0GPA, I work hard to exceed my goals whether it be on the field, classroom or weight room. I have had the opportunity to train alongside other elite athletes representing the national and international levels.

My new accomplishments include being selected as a guest player to attend the summer Dana Cup (Denmark) and Gothia Cup (Sweden) in the summer of 2024, being ranked the top 2007 CB by FTF Canada for their 2023 annual Top-100 rankings (26^th overall), and recently being identified for second team starting XI at the FTF Toronto Winter Combine (Jan 2024).

Two recent interesting facts are I have received my National Lifeguard certification and Swimming Instructors certification, and volunteer at my high school as an assistant coach for the Sr. Varsity Girl’s Volleyball team.

I look forward to connecting with you and how I can be an asset to your team.
