Personal Statement
Hello coach,
I am a middle infielder and outfielder from Roy C. Ketcham High School, and I appreciate you taking the time to read my personal statement.
My dream since first picking up a bat and a ball was to play college baseball. I would not be chasing this dream without learning the game of baseball from many smart coaches along the way. I know without them by my side, I would not be anywhere near the player I am today. I also would not be where I am today without my family. They have supported me through the thick and thin of my baseball career and I could not ask for a better family.
My goal is to find a school that is best for me athletically and academically. I am looking to find a school that offers students to study Sports Communications and with an excellent baseball program. Being productive and attentive in the classroom is just as important as being locked in on the diamond. If you are not excelling in your classes, then there will not be a spot on the field. I currently have a 4.0 GPA that I am looking to maintain throughout the rest of high school. In fact, out of 402 students in my class (2023), I am currently 31st with a 98.98 weighted GPA.
Coachability and work ethic are two traits that coaches have used to describe me as a baseball player. I am always willing to listen to coaches' constructive criticism as well. I have always been a hard-worker and will never let anyone outwork me on the baseball field, in the classroom, and in the weight room.
Thank you,
Michael Schiavone
