Personal Statement
Hello Coach,
My name is Matthew Bearden and I want to play football.
From the moment I seen one of my brother’s suite up and take the field for his first peewee practice I fell in love with the game.
A scholarship would be incredible, honestly, I just want to opportunity to play.
Academics, I will admit my grades are not the greatest. I am dyslexic and school can be a struggle for me. I work hard and have a great support system at the home. My parents and I know I might need a tutor to assist me in college.
As for sports in high school I have played football and soccer. I really like soccer, but my passion is football. I have played multiple positions. My dream position is quarterback. The first part of high school I played receiver, safety, long snapper and corner. The last two years of high school I played quarterback. I can punt and kick field goals also. I am a left footed kicker.
I would love the opportunity to show you what I am made of.
For the future I would love to either coach college football one day or be a sports analyst.
