Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Zach Marinis. I'm currently a 12th grader at Medina High School in Medina, Ohio. I've been swimming competitively since I was 8 years old. I have been swimming for Falling Oaks, a summer league, and for the Medina Makos (USA club) now Swim United year round. I also swim for Medina High School. I believe I could be a great athlete for your team. I'm a very dedicated swimmer and I'm always striving to become better. I'm confident that my coaches would say that I follow directions, take my training seriously, and apply corrections without hesitation. Now I'm sure that a lot of people tell you this, but something a lot of kids don't share is something that they want to work on. I've always felt I was shorter than my fellow competitors. I never let that stop me...EVER!!! I have learned to train even harder to get faster times and not let my size effect who I am as an athlete. I will never give up!!! I hope that you can see that my willingness to always train harder and be a better athlete would make your program even stronger. What you will get with me is the entire package - hard trainer and worker, great teammate, serious student and athlete! Thank you for your consideration.
