100M 11.98Personal Statement
In college, I want to be a valuable team member and hope to be vital to my team's success. I would always be willing to put in extra effort to perfect my athletic ability.
I started playing sports competitively at age 5 when my family was living in London, England and have always enjoyed being part of a team. Giving any team that I am on 100% of my effort has always been my primary focus. I am constantly trying to improve my athletic ability by spending extra time working with coaches and trainers, taking into account constructive criticism.
Having played a variety of sports from soccer to competitive horseback riding, I have discovered the important role of sportsmanship in athletics. My number one concern as an athlete is to be sure that team members bond with one another. Considering the experience of those who play with me is an important role of being a valuable team member. This aspect enables the team to perform at our highest possible level.
Studying at a rigorous academic high school has developed my thinking ability. I have learned to balance my studies, my extracurricular activities, and my involvement in sports.
