Kawartha Otters V...Personal Statement
I am an astute Student and Athlete that cares about others, and always want to do my best. I have aspirations to become a College (or higher) level football player. I am a leader and have been a Captain on various teams and organizations. I have an extremely strong “never quit” work ethic and I always try my best at everything I do. I take my academics, sport, training and self reflection very seriously and occupies all of my time. I firmly believe that "thoughts are things" - positive thinking and positive energy into the world will lead me to every goal I strive for. My coaches have said I am a great leader and I have been named Captain for my 2022 squads, and will be a Team Captain for 2023. I am a constant learner and have an innate ability to memorize plays for many positions. I love watching game film (for both sides) and figuring out how to best the other team. I bring my very best to each and every squad I play for and I love bringing my teammates up, and celebrating wins together.
