What makes you different?

In the aspect of soccer, I really like watching soccer games and soccer related TV shows. I will enrich my knowledge about soccer and have a certain depth understanding of soccer tactics and theories. I like playing soccer video games (FIFA, PES) and knows the background of all players and all clubs. My favorite soccer club is Barcelona. I have visited the stadiums of Barcelona and Real Madrid, as well as the stadiums of Manchester United and West Ham United, and I was shocked by the European football league.

In the aspect of study, I’m not only work hard on soccer, but also work hard on academic. I will find a balance between the two to ensure that I can achieve all-round development. I have a wide range of interests, I like music, movies, animation, travel. Besides soccer, I can also play the piano, Guzheng ( a Chinese traditional instrument), play badminton and swim. I think developing different interests also helps me to become a well-rounded person.

Why do you want to compete in college?

Because I know United States is a country with good sports environment and atmosphere. It has sports leagues for college students like the NCAA. This kind of sports environment is very attractive to all sports players. I can continue to participate in sports while studying my college courses and it will not affect my future development. It's a process of killing two birds with one stone. I can both gain the experience of academic performance and sports competition. That's why I want compete in college.

College Goals?

As an international student, I hope I can well integrate into the team and form a good relationship with my coach and my teammates. I hope my participation can help the team to achieve more goals. I will also work harder on my study, learn advanced sports knowledge in the United States, and make contributions to sports career after my graduation.
