Personal Statement
You've probably heard all the other athletes talking how they're a hard worker and persevere through hardships, but when i say it i mean it. I'm the type of person to be the first one at practice and the last one off the field. I put in the most effort that I can on and off the field. I work extremely hard to be at the top of my class and the top of my game. We can be up by 20 points or down by 20 points, I'll still play until the final whistle. I got this mentality partly because of my head coach. He always would say to us "If your not working hard, then competition is", and that always stuck with me. I realized that this is true, so I always work hard to be on top of the competition. I hit the gym and the field to get bigger, stronger, and faster.
My coach also had another saying. He would say "By the end of the season I want you guys to be better athletes and better men". I live by this everyday because I'm always trying to be a better person. I'm a great athlete with amazing character. I have a good head on my shoulders and know where I'm headed in life. I try to stay on the right path everyday. I'm also a great leader, which is why I was entrusted with the position as Team Captain during my Senior football season. I enjoyed this role very much and can't wait to portray my great leadership skills at your football program .
Lastly I love this great game of football, and can't wait to show you my sense of passion and dedication at your University. If you recruit me, I think that I'll be a great addition to your program.
