A dream becomes a goal when action is taken toward achieving it. My goal is to play college football and as I enter my Senior year, I've become focused on achieving that goal.
I'm a leader on and off the field or court. I am a multi-sport athlete, playing football and baseball, and love working hard to compete and win. Competition is what drives me. I'm very competitive in everything I do. When it comes down to the last minute or last play, the love of the game and leadership is what makes the difference in winning or losing. I'm competitive in the classroom as well having made the Honor Roll for four consecutive semesters.
To sum it all up, I have the drive and competitiveness to become a student-athlete at the college level and look forward to performing to achieve my personal and team goals.
