Personal Statement

My name is Robert Strike and I am from Sydney, Australia. Coming from that far away, it has always been a longshot to play college football, especially with how late I started. Because of this, I have made sure that any team I am on, I am the hardest working person there. I may not be the most talented or skilled when I first get there, but I sure will do everything in my power to reach that level and even more.   ”Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard“ is a phrase that I am a firm believer in and follow. I also apply this mentality in the classroom, as academics is 100% just as important, if not more important, than what I do on the field.

Coming all the way across the world was by no mistake, I want to play college football and I will make dang sure that I do my absolute best to do it.
