Personal Statement
Being a student athlete to me is more than just having outstanding grades and being athletic. Ultimately, I have those atributes already and I'm humbled. But, to become a better person through it is the theme of it all. I've realized sports has impacted me tremendously. Without noticing, sports taught me how to control myself mentality, taught me how to set goals and to achieve them, and finally taught me how to use the tools from it into my life. Playing and running numerous of sports such as cross country, soccer, track, football, basketball, etc. All of them have contributed a piece of something meaningful to my life. I believe any student athlete can compare times, grades, max squat, bench, etc. But, not any student athlete can understand what it truly means in deeper thinking. This is what separates me from other student athletes.
