Personal Statement
I have been playing football for 13 years now, and I have loved every bit of it. I am an enthusiastic and encouraging leader to my teammates, and I am a very coachable athlete. I am a 4 year letterman on my football team, and I have been the leader of the defense for 3 years now. I excel in the classroom, and my grades reflect that. I have been on the Honor Roll for 4 years, I am a member of the National Honor Society, and I have received All-State Academic honors for 2 years. I am very involved in my school and I am in a number of clubs. I am in Student Council, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Future Community Career Leaders of America, and am a Freshman Mentor and School Ambassador. I am also an Eagle Scout. I have been in Scouting since I was 11 years old, and have acquired many leadership skills from Scouting.
I grew up in Blue Springs, MO, and played football there through my 8th grade year. I then moved to Branson, MO, and have played here since my freshman year. I have lettered in wrestling and track as well.
I enjoy the competitiveness in football, thrive off of the hits, and love the comradery that I have with my teammates.
I feel that I have improved a lot as a player this year, and I am eager to see how I could further improve and be coached. Football is what I am passionate about, and I want nothing more than to continue to play this game. I am determined to play at the next level at a school where I can excel not only in academics but in the classroom as well.
