PERSONAL STATEMENT

In the next 2 years, I hope to become a vital asset at a strong Men Soccer program, helping the team win on and off the field. Next to this, I want to make everyone around me a better player and better person. I am looking forward to celebrating conference championships and more. I want to become the best version of myself and get myself ready to hopefully play professionally somewhere in the future.

The most important things I am looking at in the path to finding a new school is feeling at home and feeling comfortable from the first moment. A good coach, who wants to win and is not afraid to tell people how it is if this is for the better of the team. Next to this, I would want the academic business program to be as good as possible, since I want to graduate with a good degree. And lastly, I am looking for a winning culture, where nothing is ever good enough, and where we train every day to get better.

I am already looking forward to getting started in the Fall.
