Interview

I have the willpower and determination to chase after my dreams and goals. As a result of my desire to further my knowledge of the beautiful game of soccer I have set out to do various coaching courses, this has added to my ability to assess and correct mistakes made on the field. I have the ability to read a game and use my leadership skills to pass on instructions to my fellow team mates and to assist then if need be. I am the kind of player that keeps on challenging himself. In terms of playing soccer a few of my stand out attributes would be my ability to read the opponents attack, I win the ball. I have the ability to turn defense into attack with my range of passing whether it be a short pass into midfield or a 30+ meter pass to an attacker running into space. I am able to do this with both feet right and left, this often comes in handy when I am being pressured by opposing attackers. I understand the importance of the team goals and I will do whatever it takes to achieve these team goals even if it means I have to sacrifice my own desire for the greater good of the team.

To compete on the college platform would be the ideal stepping stone for me to reach the next level in my soccer career. I have aspirations to reach the next level and if I want to be seen as the best I need to be competing with the best and college sport is a great place to test myself against players of high caliber. It is a platform that will allow me the opportunity to test myself against the best college soccer players in America. At the same time I will also be able to further my studies and acquire a degree which could possibly open more doors for me in the future.

To obtain a degree in sport management and/or to complete a law degree. I will also use the college platform to increase my network, meet new people that come from many various places.

To obtain a position in soccer management, where technical athletic training and leadership skills are valued.

To play soccer at the highest level and internationally.

I have great leadership values, I am very goal orientated. I understand the value of working hard to achieve your goals. I have been playing soccer since the age of 5 and I have been on both sides of the fence winning and losing. I have an unparalleled passion and love for the game and cannot see myself doing anything than playing soccer or being involved in soccer. I am always looking to improve, grow, and learn new things to broaden my knowledge on and off the field .
