Coach Diane Drake Georgetown University 37 & ‘O’ Streets, NW McDonough Arena Washington, DC. 20057

Dear Coach Drake:

After speaking with my club coach and getting my family’s approval, I would like to submit for your review and consideration my resume and credentials as a potential team member of the Hoyas. I have begun to narrow my college and career pursuits. I have always dreamed of attending a college as prestigious as Georgetown University and am hopeful that my academic and athletic abilities will afford me the opportunity to fulfill my dream of going to your college and playing for a coach as well respected as you.

I am currently a senior attending James W. Martin High School in Arlington, Texas and play competitive soccer for the Texas Lightning. My GPA is a 3.0 and I will be taking the SAT in December. Athletically and Academically I believe I am the type of student that would fit within the school and your program. My leadership skill’s has afforded me the opportunity to be captain of my team since 2005 and has helped me to overcome adversity as an athlete and student.

Having talked with my coach and truly evaluating my abilities as an athlete, I believe that my work ethics, skills and abilities could contribute to your program if given the opportunity and chance to prove myself. I will be calling you over the next few days to make sure you received my package and hopefully talk with you about your program and player needs for the up coming season. I would appreciate any information you can send me regarding your program, along with scholarship and financial aid that might be available at Georgetown University.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Stacy Gonzales Texas Lighting Soccer Club
