Personal Statement

What made me the player and person I am today is my coaches I had throughout my whole football career. Football got my mind and body in shape to tackle any problem life throws at me. I say this because it taught me to never ever give up on anything no matter how hard the task could be. Unlike some other football players I started playing football when I was in the 7th grade and ever since then I just loved the thrill and excitement i get when I play , knowing the consequences that can come if I were to break my arm again. 

    Coming into highschool I knew I wanted to play football no matter what but I also wanted to be involved in other sports and activities while i could. So I got into the marching band, theater, wrestling, and track soon. Only after 2 years of wrestling I was a placing in every tournament entered, placed 4th at regionals and became a state qualifier. For a person only wrestling for 2 years these are outstanding accomplishments. Honestly if I haven't played football I don't think I would be as active in sports as I am now. 

    Even though I have lots of athletic accomplishments I am still a student athlete. I take the word student athlete very serious as I work hard in the classroom just as I do in football. Throughout my years in high school I have always kept my GPA above a 3.0. My GPA as of right now is a 3.75 and i'm working diligently to get it to a 4.0 by the time I graduate.  I have always taken honor rolled core classes to give me that extra push. But at the end of the day I want to make me and family proud of all the accomplishments I have done and will do.
