“I am very proud to announce that I have committed to play at William Jessup University. I’ve always dreamed of playing at the collegiate level, and because of the endless amount of support I have received from my family, coaches and teammates, I was able to achieve that goal. I would like to thank my family for their support and putting up with the dreadful car rides home after a loss. Without the support of my family, on and off the field, I wouldn’t be the person or the player that I am today and for that I am truly grateful. I would also like to thank all of the Placer United coaches I’ve had over the past four years: Chris Alcala, John Bustos, Todd De Carlo, and Katie Burton. To my teammates, thank you for being by my side since day one. I’ve realized that you guys are more than teammates, you are family to me, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without you guys. I would like to thank my high school coaches: Bill Fraser, Shonna Fraser, and my dad. Coach Bill and Coach Shonna have been nothing but supportive throughout my journey, and have always pushed me to be the best person and player I can be. I would like to thank my dad who has coached me in YMCA, recreation, competitive and now high school soccer. I thank him for always putting in so much of his time and effort to train me and always treating me as if I was just like any other player. Lastly, I would like to thank Coach Rachel and the William Jessup Warrior family for giving me this opportunity to play at the collegiate level. I am truly grateful for all of my teammates, family members, and coaches who have been able to take part in this wild adventure that has encouraged me to play at the collegiate level. I can’t wait to start this new chapter in my life, and be able to play at William Jessup University. Go Warriors! —Reese Zinzun
