Personal Statement

I have had a dream to play ball at the next level since I was in 1st grade. My goal is to play competitive baseball at the collegiate level and obtain a valuable education in a field of study that I am passionate about . I am extremely hard working, disciplined and respectful of my teachers, coaches, and teammates. I have developed a reputation as a leader on and off the field and have communication skills to motivate others to give maximum effort. I work hard in the classroom and have maintained a 3.5, while taking many honors and advanced placement classes. I am determined to succeed both on the playing field and in the classroom. I realize challenging myself, and hard work is the key to success in all aspects of not only baseball but in life.
