Next Level U Statement

I am a football player who is currently in grade 11. I am interested in continuing to play at the highest level after high school and would like to do that at a Canadian or US College where I can study business or marketing. I have a background as an elite futsal player which has helped me develop a high level of technical ability and game awareness. Although I am primarily a CDM/CM/CAM I am comfortable playing anywhere on the field and understand the tactical and positional responsibilities wherever I am asked to play. This past season I played primarily as a ball moving CB and RB. My aim is to play as many minutes as possible and to win every time I have a match.

I joined Dutch Connections Football Club in late 2022 and worked my way to becoming a starter and important player for the Orange team (2nd team) during the 2023 indoor and outdoor seasons. I have recently been promoted to the 2008 Black team (1st team) and am now starting regularly, playing 60-75 mins per match. My goal is to continue to start and play 90 minutes on a regular basis. Beginning in April I will be playing for The Borough FC League One Ontario Reserves for the 2025 season. My long term goal is to move to the Borough FC L1O 1st team, eventually starting and then playing in the CPL, MLS or abroad.
