Personal Statement
I am determination. If you were to define determination you would say determination is Tyler Tessmann. I am hard work. If you were to look up a definition of hard work you would say hard work is Tyler Tessmann. I settle for no less than the best. I get disturbed if I see others around me not giving 110%. Whether Division I or Division III, my dream is to be at an institution that embodies hard work, determination, and effort, not only on the ice, but also in the classroom. I will be the best influence on your team not just on the ice, but off the ice, in the classroom, on campus and in the locker room.
Hockey has been part of my life ever since I was young. Whether if it was going to practices outdoors at the local park, or playing big games against rivals, I have embraced every single aspect of the game. I will do whatever it takes to play collegiate hockey. Getting noticed has been the hardest part these days with the game becoming more popular. Collegiate sports are not all about the talent an individual possesses, in order to even make the team you have to academically eligible. I have achieved academic excellence with a 3.6 cumulative GPA that I have worked hard to attain. I have done my best to prepare myself for the rigorous course load that college brings and with it I bring all of my talents on the ice.
I have worked hard on the ice and in the weight room in order to reach my physique today. I work with some of the best people that I know will help me achieve my goals of playing collegiate hockey. I push myself to my limits and then break through those limits and create new habits. Collegiate hockey is my goal, my aspiration, my dream, and I have put the time and effort into developing myself into the person I am today in order to reach this objective.
