Personal Statement
Dear Coaches,
My primary collegiate goal is to attend an academically challenging college or university. I want to be pushed to see how far I can go both athletically and academically. I believe I have the capacity to achieve great successes at the collegiate level.
At my Avon Old Farms High School we are required to play three sports. I enjoy playing soccer and basketball both competitively, and also play tennis for fun during the spring. Sports have become a way to push myself physically and mentally. My biggest asset is my brain, and I try to use it as a weapon to outsmart the opposing players. I make a conscious effort to try and understand the game better than others. That could mean studying the games history, trends, or looking at a sport through analytics. There is always a game within the game.
I consider myself a highly ethical high school athlete who strives to make themselves, their teammates, and the game better. I hope this does not sound cocky or arrogant, because I normally do not like to talk about myself. I would rather let my actions do the talking.
Best regards,
Hamilton Watson
Avon Old Farms School - Class of '22
