Athletic Background
Summary of Career and Accomplishments
With over 15 years of soccer experience, I have consistently excelled in multiple positions, including center forward, wing, and center defender. As a forward, I led my teams as the top goal scorer, while on the wing, I acted as a key playmaker, creating scoring opportunities and dictating the pace of the game. As a center defender, I dominated with the most interceptions and counterattacks, proving my versatility and strategic impact on the field.
During my high school career at Shasta High, I contributed to an exceptional team legacy, winning every regular season game all four years, with the sole exception of matches against PV. Our team consistently placed 2nd in sectional championships, showcasing our high-level performance and relentless drive for success.
