PREFERENCES


·My goal is to play for an NCAA Division 1 university that combines a first rate soccer program with excellent academics. While my preference would be to play in the western US, there are many schools, particularly in the southeast, and a couple in the midwest, that are of interest to me. Most important, I would very much like to identify a strong men’s soccer program in need of a goalkeeper graduating from high school in 2010. Depending upon where my soccer career takes me, it is my objective to study in a university pre-med/biology program, with the intent to go to medical school.
