“Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.” Kobe Bryant.
This is one of my favorite quotes, and I apply this principal to every aspect of my life – on the field and in the classroom. I’ve worked hard to make it to the highest level of youth soccer, and I’m lucky to be in a program to support my continual development. I just don’t do the minimum. I have always done the extra. It’s the extra that I always strive to provide. My goal is to continue to play high level soccer in college, while I gain a solid education. My long term goal is to make it professional, but I also want to well prepare myself for beyond that with a college degree.
