- 2011 Season
Personal Statement
My name is Garrett Eichman, I am 5'11", and weigh 220lbs. My 40 time isn't the greatest at a 4.88, but I am very agile and am able to get up to top speed quick, which is more important. My max for bench press is 315 and 495 for squats. My form is still a little off on my power cleans but I have maxed out at 200.
This past football season our team voted on captains for the year and I was the only Junior selected. I like to believe they voted for me because they look up to me and follow my steps. I am always in the weight room, whether I am trying to better myself, or just making sure the freshman are actually doing their lifts. Some of the guys also struggle with their grades, so I'm always there to help them with that also. I am competetive with everything I do, I don't care if its just solving the puzzle on wheel of fortune, I hate losing! I believe thats a mentality you need to play football.
Ever since I was a little kid I've dreamed of playing college football and winning the Heisman; I realize that isn't quite realisic when I read about guys like Jadeveon Clowney. I basically just want to play for a team where I can contribute something. D1, 2 ,or 3 it does't really matter to me, as long as I can get a decent education and continue my football career.
I'm not really sure about what i want to major in, but I think being an atheletic trainer or or physical therapist would be a really good fit with me. Something that allows me to stay physically active, and help others do the same.
My family isn't quite the wealthiest group, to be blunt, we don't have very much money; so I would most likely need financial aid.
