Personal Statement
Hello my name is Joshua Lane and I play for Ringgold High School as a starting varsity Safety and Outside Linebacker. Ringgold High School is located in Northwest Georgia about 5 minutes from Chattanooga, TN. I play a variety of defensive positions including Safety, Outside Linebacker, and special teams. Additionally, during my junior year I was inserted into the offense as a receiver. I currently I am a team Captain and lead my team with tackles. I enjoy playing on the defensive side of the ball, but also have good "receiving hands" as well.
I started playing football when I was 5 years ago, shortly after my mother passed away. My father kept my brother and I engaged in team sports which has taught me many valuable lessons and given me many friendships with teammates and coaches.
I want to play at the next level and use my God given abilities to pursue a great education. My father has always taught my sister, brother, and I that education is an important initial ingredient to building a successful life.
I grew up in church and attend South Seminole Baptist Church in Chattanooga, TN. I believe in working hard, doing what I said I would do, putting others before myself, and doing my job to the very best of my ability. I will out work my opponents on and off the field. I enjoy math and science and would like to be a Doctor one day.
If I am fortunate enough to be selected for your team I can promise you that I will always be where I am supposed to be, doing what I am suppose to be doing, and doing it with a high level of intensity. I am looking forward to seeing where the future leads and the many opportunities that open for me. Thank you and I hope to hear for you soon Coach.
