Personal Statement
Sports have always played a big role in my life. I was fortunate enough to compete on high level youth football, basketball, baseball, and lacrosse teams. This gave me a great foundation that I could use as I grew as an athlete. I learned to never give up, always support my teammates, and to be try to be the most coachable kid on my team. My parents have also always stressed the importance of school upon me. I have always made it a priority, taken pride in my grades and strived to do my best. One important tool that I have learned throughout the years is time management. While playing 4 sports growing up and also balancing my academics I have learned that this is a necessity. My desire to excel in both school and sports, as well as having a some fun along the way, requires discipline and focus. Growing up it was very hard to fully understand this, but now after learning from my mistakes I believe that I have obtained a lifetime skill that will help me achieve my dreams to play at a higher level while receiving a college education.
