Personal Statement

I come to each practice to work and improve every day. Even if it takes multiple tries to get down a coaching point, I will try my best to implement them into practice and games. I am a stubborn worker with multiple skills on the field -- blocking, tackling, receiving, long-snapping. And I only accept the best from myself and my teammates.
