Personal Statement
Sports have had a huge impact on my life from the time I was born until now. Growing up I always looked up to my three older brothers. They were all great leaders on every sports team they were on. I loved seeing that in them and wanted to be like that too. Seeing them all become D1, D2, and NAIA level athletes gave me even more motivation to be great, but in my own way, in what I love. So after leading three of my youth football teams to championships as a quarterback in middle school I realized what kind of leader and competitor I could be. My eighth grade year I decided that, even though I had success in football, the sport I love most and want to pursue is basketball. Since I made that decision, I’ve had much success in basketball and am still improving to make myself and my team better everyday. I’m also very focused on being a great student as well. My education is very important to me in where I see my life going in the future. I hope I find a school that I can better myself and the people around me while still progressing as a student and a athlete everyday.
