Personal Statement

I not only strive maintain a 4.0 in the classroom, but I also strive to excel on the field and in the weight room. I love being pushed beyond my limits, and learning new things. I never believe that I am in expert in anything, and always believe there is more to learn to about my craft in anything that I do. I'm not afraid to ask questions, and I never am the one to shy away from leadership. In 2022, my high school was in the third round of the playoffs, and we were down 19-0 at halftime. As we were heading back to the locker room, there were many people with their head down and believed it was the end of our run. But I never had a doubt in my mind we could pull through. I brought as much energy as the team needed, and fired us up for a second half that ended in a 36-26 victory. I love making everything a competition, and bringing out strengths in myself, and others. I work out with people that are stronger than me, I train with people that are faster than me, because I hate to lose, and it pushes me to work harder. I don't believe in off days, because in the words of my head coach, Rich Fendley always says, "The days that you take off, are days your opponents are taking to get better." I bring intensity, willingness, and coachability wherever I go, and that is why I will always be a winner.
