Zach Wolfe #19

One of my greatest loves is sports, specifically soccer. I once heard "represent the name on the front of the jersey, and people will know the name on the back." I have realized this to be true in the past few year. Firstly, I recognized the truth of that quote when playing for Henry Clay during my Freshman year. I scored a number of exciting free kick goals which caught the attention of varsity head coach Bernardi. He remembered my name and talked to me throughout the rest of the year, even after the soccer season was over. He used to ask me about my club season in the spring and how I was doing. In my sophomore season, I got the opportunity to play on the varsity team as an underclass man. Another example is how I play for my club team, Commonwealth SC. In my five seasons there, we've won four tournaments and one league title. I've been the top scorer four times in those five seasons and team captain twice. As a result, when we got a new coach and a new club director this year, they both already knew who I was before I met them; remembering me by my unique last name of Wolfe. Knowing that my favorite quote is true. It makes me play my hardest and give full effort every time I step on the field. I have been able to be a member of both high school and club teams that have had very successful seasons, and it makes me enjoy playing soccer even more.
