Blog # 7 - Role Model

              My role model is Tim Howard. He is currently a goalkeeper for English club Everton and the United States national team. Howard was born and raised in North Brunswick, New Jersey. As a kid his parent s got divorced and he chose to live with his mother Esther Howard. His father wanted to get both him and his brother, Chris, as soon as possible. He started buying them gear to see which spot they preferred, Tim leaned towards soccer and basketball. 
              
              As he got towards middle school and high school Tim joined a soccer camp where a scouter saw his potential and took him under his wing. Tim was a midfielder and goalkeeper but he was much better in the goal. Since then Tim had joined clubs and got higher and better, at 16 Tim had played his first professional game for the North Jersey Imperials. Howard is a great goalie and I want to be just as good as him considering I just started but I do want to get better at it.
