Varsity Senior Se...Varsity Highlight...
Minnetonka Footba...Personal Statement
Taking advantage of every opportunity on and off the field is what I play & live for; sometimes hidden or obvious its help me ready myself for the next level; academically, physically & socially. I have learned and grown with this in mind. The extra effort I put into training particularly with football is based on this. My belief is 10,000 times creates a habit.
During my Sophomore year as Quarterback, I was elected as one of the Sophomore Captains of our 2014 football team, I had a great opportunity playing for Minnetonka High School Football. Our team broke several all time offensive school records.
During my Junior year, I earned the starting Varsity Quarterback position and have been elected as one of our captains for our upcoming 2016 team.
I have played football for 8 years, participated in football camps for 6 years practicing the Quarterback position. I have had many great coaches and learned something from each one of them, taken it and grown from it.
I also enjoy Hockey and Varsity Baseball; I continue to train and play both sports.
My interest for college is a major in Business and Spanish.
I am willing to locate anywhere that fits my interest and continue my love for the game of football and to learn skills making me successful in life, professionally and personally.
