A Sample of Morga...Personal Statement
My name is Morgan Tainter, class of 2022. I am a Softball catcher and utility player for the CT Lady Knights 18u Showcase Team. I am also a Volleyball Setter on the NFA High School Varsity Volleyball Team.
I am in my junior year of High School at Norwich Free Academy. As a junior, I am excited to expand my knowledge and take a wider range of classes such as Kinesiology and Sociology. As of now, I am interested in two areas of study, they include Behavioral Sciences and Sports Medicine. The mind and body have always been something I have been interested in because I love sports. It is important to know how to take care of the mind and body while playing high-level sports.
In addition to playing softball and other sports such as volleyball, I enjoy working out. I have been training with Andre Dixon at Dixon Sports Performance in speed and agility for 5 years. Andre has helped me improve my athleticism along with being mentally confident while doing anything.
Due to the current pandemic, I am hoping the remainder of my High School years will be the fullest they possibly can be. I look forward to visiting and meeting College Coaches (any way I can) to find the right fit for me both Academically and Athletically. I am excited to go to college and learn on and off the field.
