Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Chance Coffman. I am from Nicholasville Kentucky and I play football at West Jessamine High School. My life is Football and my family of an amazing mom and my three crazy little brothers who also love football. I started playing football in 6th grade and at one point wanted to quit but being blessed by my mother she made me keep playing through my 7th grade year. My 7th grade year I really started to understand football and that's when I realized I have to have football. I think football is the perfect game. It's physical, exciting, some people say it is graceful to watch football, but most of all it really shows who you are and how deep you're willing to dig to succeed. Since my 6th grade year from riding the bench and playing B team in seventh I've been starting A team and Varsity in high school. My freshman year was a huge step for me to start Defesnive end and alternate with Fullbacks. My sophomore year I tore my ACL and missed the last four games of the year, it was my first real injury but through recovery I have realized how hard of a worker I am and how my need for football and self-motivation to become stronger and come back better than I was before. My self-motivation only goes so far so I try to walk behind my idols and heroes in football. My player role model is Lawrence Taylor(best linebacker ever) the way he played the game is the perfect example of how football is supposed to be played. My life role model is my Mom. She basically raised me and my three brothers since we’ve been born. Working different jobs, being a full time Mom and going to college for 4 years and taking us to school and being at every sporting event we’ve had while working and going to school. If I can portray my life like anyone it’s my loyalty and love for my family and my passion for football
For my high school and college goals I want to finish high school with atleast a 3.5 GPA and for college I want to find the perfect school for me. Education and location are important but with athletics I want to find a team that will push me to be my best, a close family bond with my team and coaches. When I find the school that matches me I will dedicate myself to the education, team, coaches and School. My skills aren't unmatched or superhuman amazing but One of my best traits is that I will not quit on anything, everything to me is an opportunity to prove myself through leading and becoming better. I will give 120% effort to whatever I do. And I will work as hard as possible to become the best player I can be and set up my future. Thank you for reading
