August 2018Personal Statement
I got introduced to this marvelous sport at the age of 5. Ever since the first time I stepped on the field, my view has not changed. My love for the sport just keeps growing, and I knew since day one that this is what I am passionate about, this is what I want to do, this is my life. Baseball has, since then, been the center of my life. I aspire to continue my academic and athletic development at the college level, simultaneously enhancing my personal skills as a human being. I will bring a huge firepower to our team, along with my skills. I am the leader that brings everyone together when the team needs it the most.
I am always there for my teammates no matter the circumstance. Teamwork and unity is a crucial part in what helps the team move toward continuous success. I also understand that this comes with sacrifices that I am willing to do in order to help out my team in any way possible. In addition, I will come through in the clutch situation when the team needs me. I will steal that extra base to put my team in a better position to win. I do very intense daily training to continue performing at high stakes and constantly evolve as a player. Academically, I perform very well in school, getting really good grades, never getting in any sorts of trouble, always being respectful and constantly challenging myself by taking the hardest classes possible. I will become a great asset to your school, continuing to grow as a student-athlete.
