Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Peyton Hillman. I am playing Quarterback for Lakeland High School. I switched from soccer to football and started playing in the 5th grade. I've loved this sport ever since and have done my best to surround myself with others that will set me up for the best success. My dream is to play football in college, and beyond if that's where it takes me.
Over the years, I've learned that hard work beats talent & talent will only take you so far. I've also learned that no one else will push me to get better. I have to push myself. So, I work hard to perfect my skills in football so I can stand out above the rest. My biggest challenge I work through every day is the fact that I'm young for my grade. But I've had great guidance by my parents & coaches through the years and feel I'm also more mature than most kids my age.
In high school, I'm striving to graduate with a 4.0 gpa and to be a multi-year starter on the varsity team. In college, I'd like to major in kinesiology or sports medicine. I'd love to be able to help the youth in sports when I'm older and done with my football career.
