Personal Statement

For me baseball is more than a game. The game of baseball has been a passion of mine since I first played tee ball. I have always had the drive and desire to be the best baseball player on every team that I have played for. In fact, my parents can no longer park their car in the garage because I have a net set up in there for hitting and arm conditioning (we live in MN). Also, I love sunflower seeds. And talking baseball.

I am able to balance my academics along with my athletic goals, taking multiple Advanced Placement and IB classes to test my academic rigor. Tough classes create a mental discipline that helps me on the baseball field. To be able to pursue both my academic and athletic dreams on the collegiate level would be great.
