Personal Statement
Hello. My name is Collin Farr, and I am currently a Sophomore at New Milford High School. I am a member of the basketball and football teams. My future aspirations are to play basketball at the collegiate level and to earn a degree in Sports Management or Sports Medicine. Through basketball, I believe both of these dreams are possible. Also, I hope one day to become a basketball coach.
"Work harder than the guy standing next to you" is a quote I always hear. I am consistently told I am the hardest working player on the court. I have been called a great student-athlete for multiple reasons: I am coachable, do what I am asked, and I encourage my teammates to try and make them the best players they can be. Off the basketball court, I am an honor student. I am currently taking college preparatory and Honors level classes, and I plan on pushing my limits by taking Advanced Placement classes during my Junior year. I am known for seeing things from multiple perspectives, "thinking outside the box and between the lines," and for respecting and listening to the thoughts and opinions of my classmates. All of these attributes are what form the potential for an amazing athlete, which I believe I am.
I would like to thank you in advance for taking time to read my personal statement, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future.
