Personal Statement
Since a child, I have always been interested in football. However, I truly fell in love with the game and began to take it seriously when I realized what football could do for a person and their family. One of the major obstacles I have faced in football was a position change. After years of playing defense, I had to adjust to a new position that I was not really fond of. I finished that season with a good attitude and regained my spot on defense.
One thing I pride myself on is being a student athlete. I feel like great talent can be wasted if you do not take care of your grades. Another important trait I have is that I always keep a positive attitude. I try to maintain a good composure and pick my teammates up if they are upset. Also, I lead by example. Some people act like a leader through their words, but not their actions. I believe that is not the right way to lead.
All in all, I am a student who loves the game of football.
