About Athlete
My objective is to combine my academic studies and sporting talent to the best of my ability. I already have experience of combining my school work and sporting talent and was successful doing it. I have motivation to work hard in both required attributes in order to leave an impact on the college team I represent and I am determined to make a difference for the college I represent as I aspire to become a professional soccer player in the future.

What makes you different?
I know I have what it takes as I am a very mentally strong character who has a relentless desire and work ethic to achieve my goals. What makes me unique is that I will never give up on something that isn’t going to plan but will see the positives to help lead me to eventually reach success.
Why do you want to compete in college?
I became interested in college sports as I saw potential for me to reach my best ability in football to be able to reach my aim of playing professional football. The opportunity of playing competitive full-time football and to be potentially drafted into the MLS alongside with studying to get a degree was another reason to why I want to compete in college.
College Goals?
Sporting wise I want to win titles, cups, tournaments with my college as I want to be part of a winning team to bring success to the college I am playing for. By the end of my college experience, I want to be achieving my aim of playing professional football. Academically, I want to get the highest level of degree I can individually achieve so I have an opportunity to work in a job I desire and have a successful career on and off the pitch.
Anything else we should know?
From a young age I have always played lots of sports like cricket, rugby, tennis and swimming. I competed in district competitions in swimming and tennis. I also won individual awards in cricket for being player of the year and I won a county championship with my rugby team. In addition, I raised money for charity by doing fundraiser football games.
