Personal Statement
I would like to attend an university that will challenge me academically and physically on the lacrosse field. I believe that great things are earned and not given to a person. I strive to earn the best possible grades by working hard in school and strive to be the best athlete on the field by working hard during the season and during the off season. I am always trying to improve myself mentally and physically and I surround myself with positive, energetic people who make me a better person. My morals and work ethic are very important to me and I will always complete tasks to the best of my ability.
In regards to lacrosse, I win most ground balls and I clear the ball very well. I feel that my game IQ and game awareness are very good and I accept criticism and coaching well. I have been selected for the National True AAA Lacrosse team this year and will compete in the Naptown Tournament. I was also selected for a True National Team and played in the Sandstorm Tournament in Palm Springs California. I made a national lacrosse team, Named Titanium Lacrosse during the summer 2017 and competed against some great competition in Maryland. When the lacrosse spring season and summer travel season ends, I play football as a starting middle linebacker. Our football team has lost 1 game in the past three years (with one shutout season) and I have been recognized for my role during these seasons. During the off season I weight lift 3-4 days per week, attend lacrosse practice 2 times a week and cardio workouts 1-2 times per week.
My current goals are to :
- become a better student and to increase my current unweighted 4.0 GPA
- train to be faster and stronger
- improve footwork and positioning to be the best player on the field
My long term goals are to:
- attend an university that will assist me to reach my potential academically and as a lacrosse athlete
- attend an university that will allow me to contribute to the lacrosse team's success
