Personal Statement
I am looking to play baseball for a school and complete a degree in neuroscience pharmacy. I hope to work in research and development.
I have been playing baseball since I was 4 and competitively since I was 8. On my travel teams I have been lead off batter. In middle school I played several sports, baseball, football, basketball and I ran track. I am a sprinter and broke Knox County records for the 100, 200 and 400 meter my 8th grade year and won athlete of the year. When I started high school I could not run track and play baseball because of the conflicting schedules so I chose my 1st love, baseball. I have played and started every varsity high school game on a very competitive team. My freshman year our team played in the state championship game
I am a team leader. I was nominated by my high school coach to represent the baseball team on a school leadership council. I have volunteered to assist at Thunder baseball camps for the past 3 years.
I am a player that can get on base and steal bases. I am quick in the outfield and I am not afraid to give it my all to make the diving catches. http://www.knoxnews.com/story-hold/prepxtra-baseball-powell-5-bearden-4 (photo 5 and 7 diving catch are of me) I am a team player and will make the sacrifice bunt to move the runner. I look forward to playing and contributing to a team at the next level.
