Personal Statement
Hello! My name is Nick Flores and I am a middle infielder looking for a college that will challenge me on and off the field, both physically and academically. I always strive to be the hardest worker in the room, whether it be on the baseball field, in the classroom, or in the weight room.
My current academic schedule includes Advanced Placement and honors courses, and I earned distinguished honor roll for maintaining above a 95% average my freshman year. I look to continuously improve and I've overcome several challenges to get where I am today. For example, the fall before my freshman season, I suffered a stress fracture in my elbow and couldn't play baseball. After waiting long weeks to finally get to play again, I started to work through physical therapy. I progressively got stronger as I prepared for the season. I was one of two freshman to make the junior varsity team, and the only freshman starter. After a successful JV season, I was the only freshman called up to the varsity team for our postseason run, where we advanced to the semifinals in the Pennsylvania state tournament. I am excited to explore opportunities to further my academic and athletic career.
