Football is my favorite Sport and it is what I have centered my athletic career around. My goals are pretty simple, I strive to excel both academically &athletically in high school to be able to attend and excel in college , which can help to build great career and legacy that I will take pride in. I truly love competing and regardless of the outcome I always make sure I learn from it, I work hard everyday at trying to improve myself, whether it by sacrificing my free time to study ,workout or by challenging my self by going out of my comfort zone, I believe that everyday is a day to improve and get better at something. My family has been a huge part of my development thru this process, they have always supported me , inspired me , encouraged me and helped me to set my goals high, . Their faith and trust in God and his plan encourages me into knowing my best days are ahead of me.
