Personal Statement
My name is Joe Picarelli and my dream is playing college football. Ever since my first practice I knew I loved it. I have always had a passion for the game and I have always strived to get better. Being a student athlete is part of my nature now. I have a 3.92 GPA while I also play football and track. I am also pretty tough as I played my entire Junior year through injuries in my shoulder and knee. I am stronger now and my injuries are gone giving me an advantage for the upcoming season.
There is never a break in my day, as I go from practice to lifting, and lifting to homework and staying up late to study. Then I start my day over again. This translates over to the field. Defensively I make sure everyone is in their correct spots and doing their job. I am a great leader and I never give up. I know I have the skills, grades, and mindset to play football in college. All I need is an opportunity.
