Personal Statement

Throughout my athletic career so far, I have always played multiple sports at the same time, including 6 during my high school years alone. There has only been one sport that I have played continuously since I was in preschool, all the way up to the varsity level, and that sport is baseball. Because I have such a diverse athletic background, I believe that I will fit in at any college program because I can adapt very easily, and I am very coachable. I like to lead by example, as I was the captain of my freshman soccer team, and when I was In 6th grade, I won the sportsmanship award in my local baseball league. I am looking to play college baseball at a school that prioritizes academics. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
