Personal Statement
Hello, Coaches.
My name is Iosefa Custodio. I am a Senior at Shadow Ridge High School in Surprise AZ (Class of 2019). I have been playing football since I was eight years old. I am passionate about football, and I respect the game for the many lessons I have learned in regards to discipline, dedication, mental stamina, and honor for the game. I was fortunate to have great coaches as a youth football player and my career in high school. They continue to mentor and coach me in what I need to do to improve my game regardless of my successes so far.
I continue to work hard to have someday the opportunity to play football at the next level. I value football as much as my education. I know that my education is important for me to succeed as a football player and my future. I bring passion, intensity, and the fighting spirit on the field to do my best to win, but most importantly, do my best to represent my team, my school, and family. I have been selected by my teammates to be our team captain for our current season. An honor I hold with great responsibility and respect.
I am coachable and understand I can always improve on my technique and talent. Both my parents are military veterans. Therefore I have learned from a young age the importance of loyalty, integrity, honor, discipline, and respect. I lean on my Christian faith as a young man to help point me in the right direction and decisions I am face to make daily. It will be a dream come true and honor to be selected to a program that will help me succeed both on and off the field. I take direction well and respect authority at all levels. I know I will bring my best if given the opportunity to do so. I know I have the ability to earn your respect if I am selected. You can call me if you have any questions, recommendation, or guidance that will help me compete to the best of my ability.
Thank you for your time.
Iosefa H. Custodio (Sefa)
