I would like to perform at the highest level that I am capable of doing. I always push myself until I can't go any further an the I do more. Not only do I push myself, but coaches have told me that I am an encouragement to my teammates as I challenge them to give everything they have not only in competitions but at every practice. Respect is everything to me. By gaining the respect of my peers and coaches, I am able to help my team achieve more. I recently received the Male Athlete of Character Award for my high school as a junior. At the county banquet, most of the recipients were seniors. During my college years, I would like earn recognition for my athletic accomplishments as well as be a positive influence for my class mates. I would really love to beat a school record. I plan to work hard to earn a degree with one major and at least one minor.
