About Ethan

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a midfielder who thrives in a possession-based system. I focus on keeping the ball moving, controlling the tempo, and making smart decisions to connect our defense and attack. I’m comfortable receiving under pressure and using quick touches and vision to maintain possession. I value patience and ball circulation, looking to create openings rather than forcing risky plays.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’m a team-first player who loves the game and the people I play with. I bring energy and fun to the field — I’m the jokester who keeps the team loose and positive — but when it’s time to compete, I step up as a leader. I’m vocal, supportive, and push my teammates to give their best while holding myself accountable as well.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Outside of soccer, I’m active in my school community as a member of the KEY Club and SPARK Club. Through KEY Club, I get involved in service projects and volunteering, which allows me to give back and make a positive impact. With SPARK Club, I focus on Kingsway’s character pillars, which help guide how I carry myself both on and off the field. These clubs have helped me grow as a leader.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I work as a soccer referee, which has been both challenging and rewarding. Officiating has taught me how to stay composed under pressure, make quick decisions with confidence, and manage different personalities on the field. It can be tough at times, but I enjoy the responsibility because it gives me a chance to give back to the game and help the younger players develop their love for soccer.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced was working to earn my spot as a starter and a leader on my team. It didn’t come easily — I had to put in extra work at practices, focus on improving my fitness and technical skills, and push myself outside of my comfort zone. Over time, my effort and consistency helped me earn my place in the starting lineup and grow into a leadership role.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a small to mid-size college with a suburban campus where I can feel part of a close-knit community. Academically, I want a school that offers a strong Sports Media or Media program, since I’m passionate about connecting my love for sports with a future career in media and communications. Finding a place where I can grow both on the field and in the classroom.
