The Hustle by the...Personal Statement
I would like to continue playing a sport that I love and have been passionate about since the age of 7. I currently attend Smithfield High School but will be playing with the 95 Giants full season team for the U16 and U18 2021 season. I am currently doing well in school but do not know what I want to major in when I attend college. I have always played one sport hockey and only recently have played fall baseball. I have always been the underdog due to my size but have succeeded due to my speed and hockey IQ. At least that is what all of the coaches have said. I just hope to get a chance to prove myself like I have during my whole hockey career. I am currently making strides in the gym and my physical attributes have improved much over the last year. I will continue to work hard attend as many combines my parents allow and hopefully prove myself to a prep school or college in the near future.
