Josh Banks Corona...Personal Statement
I have earned a varsity letter in track every year since I was a Freshman. I am becoming a stronger and more diverse multi-event athlete, while challenging myself in rigorous academic classes.
Pole vault continues to be my primary event, but I also began competing in the triple jump and long jump during my Sophomore year to help the team earn points. I also run the 100m or 4x400m as my Coach desires. I am always working to improve my form and gain better technique. This now includes customized strength and conditioning training, and learning the importance of proper nutrition, rest, and recovery. Continued hard work and perseverance will hopefully result in more PRs and doing all I can to help our team excel.
My current involvement in the Advanced Placement Academy and honors classes demonstrates my desire to learn as a student-athlete. I am working to challenge myself and gaining skills on how to learn better through the challenging process. I hope to have the opportunity to go to an academy, university, or college that provides me with academic as well as athletic development that will provide opportunities for continued growth and whole-person development.
Allow me the chance and I will show you that I always give 100% effort, am coachable, am a team player, and have a desire to do what I can to help any program succeed.
