Personal Statement
Football has played a big role throughout my life and has given me many positives. Since I've been young I have always strived to compete at a high level with my teammates. This has helped me develop a good work ethic and constant competitiveness. Football has also taught me how to be a leader. As a quarterback I have always tried to lead by example and motivate my teammates. Overall I have learned that football is about the team and that you have to work together to succeed. I work hard so I don't let my teammates down and so we can succeed together as a team.
Furthermore, all that I have learned through football has also carried over into academics. I understand the value of getting good grades so I am constantly striving to succeed in all my honors classes. The work ethic I have gained through football has led me to become a member in school clubs such as the school Student Council and Student Hunger Drive. I have learned leadership and responsibility through these clubs. With all that in mind I am looking for a college that is a good fit for me academically and athletically. These are some of the reasons I would positively contribute to your school and football program.
