My name is Jonathan Törnell, and I am a dedicated football player looking to further my academic and athletic journey at a college in the United States. My objective for college is to play soccer at a competitive level while obtaining a solid education, and I firmly believe that my passion and commitment make me an ideal candidate.

My football journey began at a young age training in academies, but stuck to my base team Ekerö IK were I quickly progressed.

At the age of 14 i skipped teams above my age bracket and made an extraordinary entry into Ekerö U19’s Division 1 team.

With the opportunity to start some matches in the U19 div 1 at the age of 14, I caught the attention of the senior team’s coaches, who recognized my potential and gave me chances to play at that level.

My speed, agility, and performance on the field were evident, leading to my inclusion in the starting lineup to the senior team at just 15 years old, competing in divisions 4 and 3. This experience exposed me to the demands of senior football at a tender age, instilling in me a sense of toughness and adaptability that continues to drive my performance today.

Recently, I had the privilege of competing in Division 2, where I had a remarkable soccer journey that has significantly shaped my growth as a player. It was in this highly competitive environment that I evolved into a key player, starting almost every match.
What is particularly noteworthy is that my performances in Division 2 garnered attention from Division One teams. I received several offers from these teams, a testament to the progress I’ve made and the recognition of my abilities on the soccer pitch. But I had to decline due to my ongoing commitment to education.

Enclosed with this letter is a video that showcases some of my performance highlights from my time in Division Two. I hope this video demonstrates my skills, my love for the game, and my potential as a student-athlete.
