Personal Statement
I have playing football since I was 9 years old, playing running-back, full-back and linebacker positions. Currently, I'm starting on the varsity squad as running back, punt/kick returner and the linebacker positions. As well as play a strong utility role in the nose guard position.
I always strive to take my game to the next level, through hard work and great leadership from the team as well as from within myself. My varsity coach said, "My team and I will never quit while someone can be a leader". I took that statement to heart, applied to my game and it resulted in our varsity team making the playoffs for the first time in the school's history.
My ultimate dream is to play professional football as a career. However, to achieve that dream, I have some goals to meet in the short and long term.
- Get a quality education, hopefully with a degree in Sports Medicine or Athletic Trainer
- Set a good example both on and off the field, with good grades, and strong character
- Be a difference-maker to my teammates, classmates and my community.
- Lead my football to the to playoff for the second straight season
My long term aspirations are:
- Play football at a professional level
- To get a degree in Sports Medicine or Athletic Training
- Become a Marine Corps officer
With all that is said and done, I strive to to be the best while on the field,in life off the field and strive for excellence in everything. My thanks to everyone for reviewing my profile and giving its due diligence. I look forward to hearing from you real soon,
Sincerely
Jacob Lefler
