Personal Statement
I have played many sports in my life, but none have provided me the satisfaction that Field Hockey does. Since I have fell in love with hockey, I have always looked up to the players in the college level, and wanted one day to be like them. Many might say freshman year is too early to start trying to further my career, but I feel as if I am more than ready. Being a student athlete has taught me why student comes first. Academics are my first priority as I know they will be one of the most vital parts my future hockey career. I have always struggled to focus in school, but since I have found my love for hockey it has inspired me to work harder in school and strive to do the best that I can. Nothing gets my heart racing and blood pumping as fast as hockey does. I feel on top on the world when I play and I never give less than 110% every game. I love my hockey family like my own, and I can’t to broaden those connections. I will be playing in the Winter Escape tournament in Florida in January. Thank you for your time and consideration to read my statement, as a player, it means a lot.
Sincerely,
Arden Patterson
