Personal Statement

Coming from a rural town in Northeast Georgia, I play the game of baseball simply because I love the game. I would not want to spend my four years in college any other way than playing baseball while furthering my education. Not only do I bring energy, passion, determination and leadership to the field every day, I am a hard worker and an excellent student in the classroom as well.

With limited opportunities in our local area, I have spent many hours traveling to the Atlanta area and Southeastern region of the US for training and travel baseball play to enhance my skillset and athletic ability. This level of dedication shows my strong work ethic while maintaining high grades in school at the same time.

I have been the starting shortstop for my Varsity team since I was a freshman and travel teams, but have played all infield positions, as well as any outfield position wherever and whenever the team has needed me.

I'm looking for a program that will be a good fit for me athletically, as well as academically. I believe that not only I have the talent to compete for a college team, but the character, work-ethic, and leadership skills to make an immediate impact on your program. I know that I have what it takes to be a leader on your team!
