Current Goals for College:
“The quote “to be the best you must train amongst the best” is very applicable for me. I want to be the best and I know that for that to be possible, I must be training in a professional environment like those of colleges. In college, I am aiming to develop as much as possible within the 4 years. I don’t just want to become a great athlete, I also want to become a respectful, knowledgeable, and kind member of society. I have already learnt so much from playing soccer at a high level within Australia, and I know that being immersed in a college environment would allow me to flourish even more.
My goals include:
– Building relationships with my teammates, coaches, teachers, and friends that will last a lifetime.
– Earn a degree in my course of interest so that I can pursue it beyond college.
– Win championships! All athletes want to win, and I am no different, except that I will be working for it even when no one is watching.
– Create lifelong habits that serve me well through my life, including with my nutrition, sleep, and knowing what it takes to be successful.
– Most of all, I just want to give everything I have. My mantra is ‘live for today’ and I want to be able to leave college and know that I have no regrets”
Life Goals:
“Since I began playing soccer when I was 9, I have always wanted to play for the Australian Women’s National Team, the Matildas, and would love to represent them in a World Cup. I want to play soccer at the highest level that I can, and particularly to travel and play internationally. I have a passion for travelling and desire to travel all across the world doing what I love most, playing soccer and helping people achieve social justice. My main goal in life is to make an impact on other’s lives for the better. I don’t know what the future holds, it could be completely different from what I imagine, but I know that whatever I am doing has to positively impact others”
Why do you want to compete in College?
“I want to compete in college because I want a challenge. I want to push myself and truly understand what I am capable of. The atmosphere of college is another big reason for my interest. I love being on-the-go and always doing something to challenge myself, whether that is through school or soccer. College provides the full package, learning every day on and off the pitch. College appears to be like a big community who all support each other, it seems like a very positive environment to be a part of. I want to compete in college because I know that it is the level that I want to play at, since it will challenge me. I will be able to bring all my skills, as well as my ebullient and lively personality to the team and together we can win championships!”
What makes you different?
“I always value honesty above all. I want to know where I stand and what I need to work on, no matter if it is hard to hear, because I know in the long run, it will only make me want to work harder and achieve better. My determination is always what makes me stand-out above others. I have never been the strongest or the fastest, but I have always been the most determined, hardest-working, most passionate and motivated; the first one at training and the last to leave. I am captivated by the possibilities through soccer. Everything I do, what I eat, when I sleep, I always have the nagging thought in my head ‘Will this make me better?’ Above all, I know that it would be a privilege to play college soccer and represent a team. I owe it to everyone that has sacrificed something for me to be able to have this opportunity; I will train and play for them”
