What makes you different?
I have a deep passion for soccer, and when I watch games, I don't just focus on the goals scored. I pay close attention to players who occupy the same position as me on the field, observing their movement, coordination, and other aspects to expand my soccer knowledge. Playing soccer games myself has also been a valuable source of learning about various players and clubs. Among them, my favorite club is Manchester United. In fact, I have been fortunate enough to visit both Manchester United and West Ham United stadiums, experiencing the thrilling atmosphere of European soccer firsthand.
While soccer is a significant part of my life, I am equally dedicated to my academic pursuits. I strive to strike a balance between my studies and soccer, ensuring that they complement each other rather than conflict. I believe in pursuing a well-rounded development, and thus, I have a wide range of interests. Apart from soccer, I enjoy watching movies and traveling. Additionally, I play the guitar, engage in running, and swimming. By cultivating various hobbies, I aim to become a versatile individual with a diverse set of skills and experiences.
Why do you want to compete in college?
My goal is to experience significant personal growth during my time at an American university by expanding my knowledge and learning opportunities. As a soccer player, I am eager to enhance my skills through the guidance and training provided by college coaches. Participating in competitive matches will allow me to observe and learn from the strengths of other athletes, motivating me to bridge the gap between their abilities and mine.
I believe that being exposed to diverse perspectives and training methods in the university environment will contribute to my overall development as a student-athlete. By embracing the challenges and drawing inspiration from my peers, I am confident that I can continually improve and strive for excellence both on and off the field.
