Interview

What makes you different

I’m really hard-working person both on and off the field. My biggest strength on the field is the pace and the ability to play with both feet. Also, I have the energy and power to play box to box for the whole match. Off the field I’m a very organized person. I manage to combine training, studying, and personal commitments.

Why do you want to compete in college?

Having the chance to be part of an US University soccer team is like a dream come true, because it will help me grow as a soccer player. Furthermore, I will have the opportunity to play with players from all over the world, which will be a great experience.

College goals

My college goals are to be a good student and graduate successfully and of course to help my soccer team in achieving great results.

Soccer and life Goals?

I would love to be a professional soccer player, because I can’t imagine a better thing of making a living by doing the thing you love the most. About the life goals, I want to make friends around the world, reach my goals and be financially stable.
