Personal Statement
From day one my Father instilled in me TEAM first. I play sports to win, that rings hollow if it's all about you. I have been named captain for nearly every team I have played for ( 10 years Little League - junior high football & baseball - jv football and baseball and Varsity baseball ) for the most part I believe a true captain goal is to make those around you better. Pick them up when they fall, show them that giving up is not an option.
As long as those that lead stand for TEAM first I will follow. I respect each and every coach I have had ( you may not always agree with a coach but must always respect and learn from them) - this is something my Father says all the time - though for the most part I have loved my coaches ) I hold my Faith, family and team / school in high honor and would never do anything to disrespect them. I enjoy life, and look forward to play a sport I love and earn an education that sets me up for success for the future.
I have two sides of me, on the field and off. When the whistle blows and it's time to do my job I take that seriously . Coach if I am not to the level I need to be on any given play... give it to me, don't hold back . I will not buckle or break, I will be stronger for it. whatever I need to do to make me better makes the TEAM better.
Choosing a school that gives me an education for a lifetime is a huge undertaking, my family will be with me every step of the way. In the end I need to feel that this is what is best fit. I want the whole package - great School - Coach - Team and I know that I have to pull my fair share to make that happen.
