Personal Statement
I love to play and compete and always have, so as an athlete, my goal is to play baseball at the highest level I possibly can and continually improve while still succeeding in the classroom. I know that academics are extremely important as well and my goal as a student is to be prepared so that when I graduate, I can step into a job confidently and know I have all the tools I need to be successful. I have always loved the game, but I have never been the biggest or strongest on the field. That challenge has helped me to become a player that can outplay anyone else with skill, baseball IQ, and pure drive to succeed. As I have gotten older, I have begun to be much more of a fast twitch athlete, which has, combined with my IQ on the field and my skill, allowed me to improve a lot as a player. Though I am still growing and developing, I have been blessed to see some love back from the game I love so much.
Thanks,
Ben Dickerson
