July 2013
February 2014Personal Statement
I am looking to attend a school that will provide me a top notch education.I wish to play the sport I love, and to play with a group of guys who have the same passion as I have for the game! I want that great feeling of winning a conference,national championship with those same guys and carry that memory through the rest of my life.If this sport brings me to the next level, well, thats just a bonus! I love the outdoors, aside from baseball there's no other place I'd rather be. In the woods huntin, or on the bank fishin.
2013 was a rough year for me. I was diagnosed with TOS (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome) Venus type. Missing a portion of my Legion & HS baseball seasons, I didn't know what to expect next. My family and I chose to be proactive and consider surgery to correct the problem. This condition is more common in athletes than we originally knew, especially baseball players. I had the surgery in September in St. Louis and waited patiently to return to full activity. The new year seemed a long ways away but finally arrived and I received a late X-mas present, a release to full activity from my doctor! Since that point I've been working with my trainer, attending showcases, and preparing myself for college baseball. I am now at 100% and visiting schools. Life has its "ups" and "downs". I've felt the "downs" and have the rib to prove it! Now all I have ahead of me are "ups" and playing the game I love!
