Chris Sailer Camp...Personal Statement
COMMITTED TO BUTLER UNIVERSITY
Coach,
Thank you for taking the time to review my profile.
I am eager to earn a spot as a kicker with a successful college football program such as yours. This past off-season, I worked harder than ever and it’s been evident with my success on the field my senior year. I’m starting to realize my full potential and am just scratching the surface of the kicker I can become. With the right team and coaching, I know I can be the play-maker and game-changer every team needs.
I attended a Chris Sailer Kicking camp on November 8, 2014 and was rated as a 4.5 star kicker. http://chrissailerkicking.com/player-rankings/profile.php?player=6072
I am currently ranked 33 in the nation by Prokicker.com for kickers in the class of 2015. http://www.prokicker.com/rankings/recruiting/kickers/50
In week 5 of high school play, I scored 8 of our 20 points by hitting a 42 yard field goal, a 24 yard field goal and going 2/2 on extra points (News-Gazette, 9/27/14 – paragraphs 5 and 6). http://www.news-gazette.com/sports/prep-sports/football/2014-09-27/central-stumped-normal-comm-after-halftime.html
I am a highly motivated, well-rounded individual – scholar, 2-sport athlete, member of multiple extracurricular organizations, and community/church volunteer. I am positive leader among my peers and well respected by my teachers and coaches. I am a person of strong character and demonstrate this through my words, choices, courage, and determination. I would continually give you my all on and off the field.
Thank you again for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Josh
