July 2016Personal Statement
I am looking for a team where I can grow as a person and as a player. I am willing to contribute to the team in any way that I am needed, I am a utility player, I have played every position on the field in my high school career. I am a great leader and always willing to learn more. Although it is not big for many, my sophomore year on varsity I received the "most improved" award, which I feel represents myself perfectly, always working to get better and be the best I can be.
Don't stop when you get it right, stop when you can't get it wrong.
