Personal Statement

Hey Coaches,

In only a year and a half of place kicking, I received a 4.5 star rating from Kohl's kicking program. I look forward to improving my rating this year. My goal is to be a supportive teammate and stay positive during hard situations, while performing consistently at a high level. As part of a championship wining football program, we have hopes to win state this year. I will help my team achieve this goal by giving it 110% every time I'm on the field. Achieving success has not been easy; I have had to overcome some tough situations throughout my football career. As a newer player to the game, I had to overcome people who doubted my dedication and ability but I managed to block that out and come out on the field with the best attitude every game and give it my all. I continue to develop my skills through the off-season by consistently practicing on my own, strength training with a personal trainer, meeting with mentors, and building physical and mental  discipline.
