Personal Statement
I have had a strong desire to play football for as long as I can remember. I am passionate about the game and work hard. I have worked to improve my physical game as well as my mental game. I am not only a player but I also study the game and watch both college and professional football as a way to learn as much as I can. As an 8th grader I was asked to join the Freshman football team as their starting center. This was a position that I had not played previously but the coaches felt that my knowledge of the game and my skill level would make it easy for me to transition into this position. The transition took place two weeks prior to the first game of the season. I was able to adapt to the position and played a key role on that team.
Academically I have been able to stay above a 3.5 GPA and have regular attendance. I do this while participating in all practices and games during the season and attending daily workouts during the off season.
My goals include attending a good university where I can play football and get a degree. I believe that I will be able to continue to be successful both academically and athletically.
