I have always been a dedicated athlete and student. I set personal goals for myself in both areas and am committed to achieving excellence when I set my mind to something. I have been able to excel in several sports including soccer, track and diving and enjoy being an important part of any team. One thing that I have been told quite often is that I am very coachable. I take direction from my coaches and apply it to my efforts to be a better athlete. I am excited to continue to play at a college level and hope that I can contribute positively to any team that I may join. One thing that I strive to do personally is to get better each practice and each game. I don't take things personally if my coach tells me I made a mistake. I take that critique and apply it in my next competition. While I do like to win, I understand both sides of competition and when you lose, it makes you a more hungry and competitive athlete. I hope to be on a team that can help me to grow both athletically and personally. I have long friendships with teammates and I hope that I can build that at a collegiate level with the coaches and fellow teammates.
