Personal Statement
I am student athlete preparing to begin my junior year of high school and my sixth year playing ice hockey with Team Maryland (Tier 1 AAA). My primary position is left wing; however, I am a versatile player and can play right wing and center. My strengths are puck possession, my shot, production, and my hockey IQ. I am a leader on and off the ice by encouraging others and being inclusive. I was selected as Team Captain by my teammates at the start of last season. My coaches would describe me as coachable, hard-working, and focused.
Over the last three seasons I accumulated 60 points in 59 games, with 43 goals. This year I was drafted by the Youngstown Phantoms in the Phase Two USHL Draft.
I am an outgoing person that makes friends easily, but also knows when it is time to focus and work hard instead of being social. I am connected to my local community through volunteer work that I have done as a mentor for the Washington Ice Dogs, a local hockey organization that provides the opportunity for all ages and abilities to play ice hockey. I have also volunteered at my church, my local food bank, and as a camp counselor.
I am continuously working to improve myself both on and off the ice. My goal is to earn the opportunity to compete at the highest possible level, while continuing my education at a college that is good fit for me both athletically and academically. I plan to pursue my educational interests in the areas of sports broadcasting/media, business, and sports management.
