October 2015Personal Statement
I want to play college baseball at the highest level at which I will actually play. I want to make a significant contribution to my college team and help win games, including a collegiate championship.
I am a hard worker who puts in many hours outside of team practices. I also apply my work ethic to the classroom.
One of the reasons I enjoy catching is that I enjoy leading my team. I enjoy being a leader both on and off the field.
I want to get a degree in business and then possibly start my own business. I also would like to coach baseball someday.
My other post graduate goal is to get paid to play baseball at some level.
Thank you for considering me for your program.
