Personal Statement
I am a Greencastle High School, two sport athlete. I play baseball as well as football. I measure in at 6' and weight 205. I can get to first in 4.2 seconds and my 60 yard dash is 7.2. Healthy, quick and agile. My main positions are 3rd base as well as pitcher and am a confident hitter. It has been a life-long dream of mine to play college baseball and maybe someday in the MLB. I wouldn't mind playing football as well if the opportunity arose, but baseball is a very important dream.
I have played on many all-star teams in the past as well as earning a varsity letter during my freshman, sophomore, and junior years in both sports. I have also made the all-conference team my sophomore and junior years as well as being voted MVP by my baseball coaches during junior year. Captain of my baseball and football teams, sophomore and junior year as I feel leadership is an important aspect of any sport.
I'm driven to excel in any competitive level. I spend most of my free time in the gym working out when I'm not playing ball. Why?, because I am scared to fail. I want to be the best on the field at all times. I feel that, to be the best, you have to practice to be the best. Meaning, extra time and extra effort to be that kid that will be the game changer on the field.
My preferences are pretty wide open as far as size of school, all-boy, co-ed, religious based, etc, please, no military. I would like to stay within 2-4 hours of home, meaning Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky. All areas surrounding my home state of Indiana. I am not against going farther if it means being able to fulfill my dreams. My preferred major is Business. As a family of business owners, I feel this is a good avenue for me. We will look into financial aid, definitely something that could be helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I will be anxious to hear from you.
