Personal Statement
I will immediately contribute to your program not only through my athletic abilities but also through leadership skills, positive attitude, respect, and desire to be a good role model for others. The death of my young special needs cousin drives me to give 100% in everything that I do. He made me realize that every day and opportunity to step onto the baseball field is a precious gift that should not be wasted. Additionally, the brotherhood that develops with my teammates and love of for the game of baseball is why I want to continue playing the game. Success comes from hard work. My school coach has said that I am a “bring your lunch pail to work kind of guy” because I do not shy away from putting in the work to get the job done. I pledge to give my personal best effort on the field, in training, and in the classroom to contribute to my future college's traditions and winning culture. Academics are important, and I like to be challenged in the classroom. I enjoy learning especially as it relates to my goal of earning a degree in the field of engineering.
Allow me to compete for a spot on your team and you will not be disappointed. I will bring heart, hustle, and drive to your program that cannot be measured by numbers.
