Personal Statement
Thank you for viewing my profile. My name is Jakaree N. Fox, a student athlete from Chicago, Il. I have had the pleasure of attending Lindblom Math and Science Academy, where I maintained a 3.34 GPA. I have been a multisport player since the age of 4, playing baseball and basketball. I have a strong sports IQ and work ethic. I work hard to ensure that I am one of the best defensive players on the team. I am known to be the Scottie Pippen of the team. I always encourage my teammates, and will assist them with a skill if they need help. I reach out to former players who are now playing college ball to train with independently. I may be small in stature but have a lot of heart. I am known for stealing bases and having quick reflexes. I would be an asset to your team. It has been my dream to play collegiate baseball with hope of making it to the MLB. I strive to obtain my degree in business so that I can open a chain of laundromats to provide jobs in the inner cities across the country to curb violence. I also want to restart my nonprofit for the homeless in Chicago. I look forward to creating a foundation where I can provide jobs to the youth and free trainings to kids who an have interest in baseball. I would love to be able to one day give back to the park league that sowed into me.
