June 2016Personal Statement
I am very motivated & positive player. I give my all in everything that I do. I have played at the highest levels since I was 8 years old that my community has to offer. I have learned to love the game no matter what happens and I have also learned that the game of baseball is 90 percent mental play. I have played with many different players and learned that one negative attitude can bring a whole team down. I also try my best in school to get the highest grade point average I can. When I struggle in school or any other situation I usually go to a teacher for help or my coach for additional help or advise . I play two sports Baseball and Hockey but my love is for Baseball. I play hockey in the winter to help me stay conditioned for baseball. I have been the team captain for my baseball team due to my love of the game,ability to pick my teammates up when they are struggling,and hard work. My goals are to attend college and get a degree but also to be able to play the sport that I have loved since I was able to walk.
