I have had many different coaches compliment me on being very coachable. I focus on the things that I’m being coached because I want to always get better. My school is an extremely successful school academically and athletically. Having won state championships in football, baseball, and many state appearances in basketball and track, I know that I need to push myself to meet that high standard. As a four-sport athlete, I enjoy competition year-round.
