I haven't played football for long, but have found that I am incredibly passionate about it & want to develop into the best player I can. I push myself & my teammates hard on every play in every practice & game. My ultimate dream would be to play in the NFL, but realizing the odds I know that will take great effort, sacrifice & discipline. My long term goals are to become a veterinarian & a firefighter. With hard work, people seeing my potential & earning an opportunity I know I will achieve them. What makes me a good candidate for any team is that I will always try my hardest & never mess around. I know when I step on the field it's time to work & time to get better. My mental strength does not allow me to quit. I am a leader & continuously keep my teammates motivated & focused. I will work hard & eagerly take direction from my coaches, giving 110% at all times. I take the same tenacity with me from the field into the class room when it comes to academics. I pride myself on performing to the best of my abilities in school & realize this is my 'job' right now. If I am struggling I am not afraid to ask for help & guidance, just like when I'm on the field. I know that I am on a journey now & academics are just as important if not more important than football. I want to make the most of every opportunity that comes my way. I can promise you that I will give my best & am always striving to be the best student athlete & person I can be all of the time.
