Personal Statement
My first feel, touch and breath of football was when I was young and is one of the best sports I have ever played. I immediately fell in love with football is a way of life and the sport has taught me some lessons. One of the many aspirations when I was younger was to play Varsity football. Many of those turned into dreams and goals, that I wish to use in my growth of and experience . I have many goals in my life and I often cannot stop thinking about what to chase. Freshman year I asked coach what can I do to be a better football player. He told me "do everything you can do and don't be afraid to live because one day you don't want to say or think when your at the end of your journey and wish or think what if?" When I step out on a field I do not take "if" for an answer I think "I can and I will" I give everything I can on that football field to a point where I can barely walk. I notice certain lessons on the field that many players don't really notice when they play football. Things such as "Win the Day" my coach always says.
It got me thinking I need to do my best in the school, be respectful, and be a positive role model for others. Going home to see family or even friends, I try to make our relationships between us better by building a better bond. When I go to college, I want to represent, I want to be the best model of a student there is on the campus. I would do everything in my power to be the best person to represent a program or school. I have a strong encouraging loyalty to everyone and I never turn my back against anyone. I'm always willing to extend a helping hand to anyone in need. I believe in a strong belief of you get what you give and I'm willing to give it my all for anyone who is willing to support me and give me a number and a helmet to play. I have a plan to be the best I can be in academics. I think school should be the basis of all athletes. Many colleges/programs have standards or expectations I will accept and go above and beyond to make my expectations of myself higher than everyone else. I believe I can be better than good, okay, alright, great, or fine. I hold myself above those words. Every single time I hear one of those words go in my head, it's a drive! There's a little motor in me that doesn't stop. When I make personal records, I'm happy but never satisfied like many other student athletes. I have many other people/coaches tell me good job. I celebrate but stay humble. I say thanks but don't make a big deal about it because the next day I'm in that weight room/classroom/function outside of school striving for better. When I want to do/be something better, I want to have a better life/environment/community/relationship. That's what I strive for; excellence through the power of knowing I can do anything.
I have so many paths I can take to be anything. I often show silent leadership; I lead the team when there is nobody leading it. I often come 3-4 times a day to the weight room to better my self. I invite or bring friends, get coaches to write workouts and I try to bring an impact with my team because its always fun working hard with family and bettering yourself with others that have similar goals. I'm willing to give it my all through anything I do and do it the best I can possibly. I expect a lot of myself and I see a lot of goals I'm ready to be chase. I'm ready to do whatever it takes to be the best person/athlete/teammate/family member/citizen I can be.
