Leighton Burcham ‘19 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I would like to go to college to study Business and to play sports. I would be the first ever in my family history to play a sport in college. I would love to start a new family tradition by getting recruited and playing sports in college. My mentality is student first, athlete second, and I will work my hardest on both so that I may achieve to the highest of my ability.  My goals for college are to have at least a B average on grades and to improve my short game, course management, and focus, which in turn should lower my stroke average. What makes me different from other recruits is that I am a go get it person. If I really want to achieve something then nothing can stop me from doing that thing. I am also a very good learner. I can watch videos or listen to people talk about things and retain that information and use it to further help me in my everyday life.  I hope that this gives you an insight into who I am. I look forward to answering any questions.
