College Soccer Goals:

“My current demanding schedule has allowed me to develop the essential skills to consistently excel in every team I represent along with achieving top results in school. These skills will allow me to integrate well into the college team I represent along with the aim to achieve high merits/distinctions. I want to overcome challenges that College presents and continuously grow and develop as both a Soccer Player, Student, and person. I strive to be the best player I can be, with natural leadership qualities, I want to push my teammates and myself to learn and grow, aiming to win every time I step onto the park. I am a constant goal setter, who sets small goals in relation with one main aim which provides steppingstones to guarantee success”

Why do you want to compete at College Soccer?

“For me, College is the right steppingstone in my journey. College allows myself to peruse my dreams in both Soccer and Academics, it provides the perfect balance of Sport and study along with the extremely competitive environment to accelerate my growth. The family like community was a main trait exemplified by College teams which turned my head and made me explore this pathway. I believe College sets me up for extreme growth both as a person and athlete, with the high-pressure environment enforcing the professionalism I strive to achieve”

What makes you different?

“What makes me different is my hard work, determination and never give up attitude. I have faced continuous setbacks in my life, in which most people would back down and stay in their comfort zone. I am constantly striving to stay outside my comfort zone as that is where growth originates from, whether that be in Work, School, or Sport. I am constantly pushing myself each day, goal setting, journaling, and creating a timetables to enhance productivity. Relationships are extremely important to me, whether that be between Teachers, Coaches, Teammates, or Peers. I strive to obtain strong friendships to ensure a family like environment everywhere I go”

Life Goals?

“I have always strived to be the best person and Soccer Player I can be, with the ultimate dream to represent my Country. I would love to play professional Football anywhere which provides a family feeling. I would love to peruse my strengths in Academics, whether that be exploring in the fields of Entrepreneurship with the help of a College Degree or Studying for a job I may fall in love with” To recruit Josh please reach out to [email protected]
