Personal Statement
BRETT BLOMQUIST
Class of 2021 - Acworth, Georgia
I AM A COMMITTED TEAM MATE BOTH AS A BASEBALL & FOOTBALL PLAYER. MY MOTTO IS - "IT'S NOT ABOUT ME". MY GOAL IS TO FIND A BASEBALL PROGRAM AT A SCHOOL WHERE A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF ATHLETES IN THE PROGRAM COMPLETE THEIR COLLEGE DEGREE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE AN EARLY CONTRIBUTOR / FRESHMAN IMPACT PLAYER. I'D VERY MUCH LIKE TO HELP MY COLLEGE TEAM WIN A WORLD SERIES!!!!
I have been blessed to have played both sports for some of the greatest coaches anywhere. both in their teaching, leadership and the way they have poured into me on a personal level (off the field). I pride myself for being on time and consistent. I make smart decisions off the field and handle my business on the field.
I want to play for a program that "WANTS ME"! I want to play for a coach that I can build a relationship with over my 4 years at school. I want to be a part of something that is bigger than just "WINS"... But knowing that winning is so important!
What makes me different than most guys is that I am a "dual sport" athlete. I play football and hold multiple county and school records and I also play baseball and am on track to do the same in terms of career numbers. I know that there are not a ton of guys that play two sports and are considered "team leaders". I am honored to have had that rare opportunity at my high school. I am also humble. I always give credit to my brothers on the team and I ALWAYS respect the game. I am a true "student of the game" of baseball and I am always searching for more knowledge because I feel that the only way to get better is to get smarter.
