What makes you different?
I am a really good dribbler and can take on a lot of players. I win lots of penalties and make trouble for the opposition team. I have the ability to work in tight spaces. I can be a difference maker on my team.
Why do you want to compete in college?
It is definitely a good combination between school and sports. Playing on a high level, while studying and getting a degree is a really good opportunity and I want to be part of this amazing journey. USA is also across the ocean and it would be a lovely way of starting my career abroad. As an international student it would also be a great experience for me living alone, away from my family.
College Goals?
I would like to get a lot of playing time and be one of the crucial members of the soccer team. I also want to finish with a good degree, so I can pursue my career afterwards. I would love to meet new people and get experience from different coaches.
