To Whom It May Concern:

As a coach specializing in goalkeeping, working for many organizations throughout the Edmonton area (including Spruce Grove Saints, Northside United, Selects FC, and RESC), I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Morgan Lea.

I have had the pleasure of coaching Morgan for over one and a half years, from U13 to U15, to develop her goalkeeping skills. During this time, Morgan has been a paragon of dedication and professionalism in regards to her training attitude. She has never been late to a session, nor shied away from putting in the hard work required to refine her skills. Her commitment to bettering herself shows in every session, consistently displaying a high level of focus, determination, and resilience. She is extremely coachable and takes every bit of insight given, but is not afraid to ask questions to make sure she understands concepts if needed. She shows a maturity beyond her years that is required between the sticks, but also aids her to be a great person off the pitch as well.

Although Morgan displays many great strengths, two stood out for me at our first couple sessions. Morgan’s kicking from hands was exceptional before I started coaching her, and has now been refined to be more accurate, even at the great distance she can kick. Secondly, she is a true modern keeper in her ability with her feet. She is confident in her ability to pass a ball around the back as well as launching counterattacks to keep the opposition on their feet. Her shot stopping is also remarkable, having a natural athleticism that means she is fast and light on her feet.

In conclusion, I have no hesitation in recommending Morgan Lea as a highly talented and extremely dedicated goalkeeper with a ton of potential. With her professionalism, dedication, and coachability, she can excel at the highest levels. In my opinion, at her current level, and with previous university experience myself, she could step into a university game at 15 and hold a good account of herself. I am confident that she will make a significant and positive impact on any team she joins, and I wholeheartedly endorse her for any future opportunities in soccer.

Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information regarding Morgan's abilities or performance.

Sincerely,

Mason Perras
