Dear Mrs Jones,

Thank you for taking the time to review my athletic resume and my athletic cover letter.

I am currently a grade 10 student attending Mark R Isfeld secondary, and my grade point average
is 4.0. I have been playing soccer since the age of 5, and I have loved it ever since the day I
started. I love the game of soccer because you not only have to have physical skill, but also
tactical intelligence too. If I were to be a successful scholarship recipient, I would be a teammate
that could be counted on to work hard, collaborate,and infuse a positive attitude to the team.

One of my strengths as an athlete is my versatility, I can shoot and pass as well with my left foot
as I can with my right. I can be put in almost any position, and find a way to make it work.
Another one of my strengths is my tactical intelligence, I have an in depth understanding of my
position and where I need to be at the right time. I have understood plays that others may have
not picked up as quickly. For the past three years my position has been left or right full back, but
I also really enjoy playing on the outside midfield. As a defender I have learned to build my
consistency and confidence with not only the ball, but also off the ball. As a defender, I have also
learned the importance of seeing the field as a whole, and being able to communicate with others
and letting them know where to press, and when to press. My teammates have learned they can
count on me to be consistent and determined.

To be a successful athlete I believe you need more than skill; you need to have a strength of
character and emotional intelligence. These are traits that I believe I can bring to the team. I
maintain a calm and positive attitude even when faced with adversity. I am able to hold my
emotions in check and stay focused even when the pressure is intense. I don’t see losing a game
a failure, but as an opportunity to learn. Another character trait I can bring to the team is fortitude
and dedication. I understand the importance of showing up to each practice or game with a
strong work ethic, no matter what the circumstance. I also have an understanding of how to push
my body without causing injury.

Thank you again for your time and attention, I hope to be able to meet you in person and discuss
further the strengths I can bring to your team and your school.

Sincerely,

Paige Ference
