I'm a firm believer in the quote by Tim Notke, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard," and I try to put that philosophy into practice every day. I'm a hardworking, dedicated athlete and student and I'm always seeking ways to improve and excel in all areas of my life. As a 16-year-old currently competing in the MLS academy, I am ambitious, highly talented and have developed a strong foundation of technical and tactical skills. In addition to my dedication to soccer, I'm also committed to excelling academically and maximizing my opportunities. I maintain a 4.75 GPA, demonstrating my dedication to personal and intellectual growth. I'm a team player who values the importance of working together to achieve success and I'm committed to training and practicing consistently in order to reach my full potential. I'm looking forward to continuing to grow and develop as a soccer player and student, and making a positive impact on my team, community, and the world as a whole.
