Personal Statement

My name is Grayson Michael Davis and I am so much more than a soccer player. Although I have been playing soccer since the age of four, I bring many other attributes to the table as a well-rounded person and student.

I started playing in my hometown of Ft. Myers, FL, then moved to southern Illinois and finally to Charlottesville, VA. While playing in these different locations, I got to experience many coaching styles, teammates, different leagues, playing surfaces and weather. All of this helped shaped who I am as a soccer player, and I am not done yet!

Besides playing soccer, I love mountain biking, reading, playing basketball and hanging out with friends. My family also takes many weekend trips so I also get to see, learn about and experience many different locations, especially along the east coast.

In college, I hope to study engineering or other STEM-based major. At this point, I do not have a specific area of focus, but I do know that my favorite classes in school now are all STEM based courses. Building and creating has always been something that fascinates me. I know that studying engineering and playing soccer can be quite challenging, but I am up for it.
