Personal Statement
In January of 2018 I moved from Melbourne, Australia to Las Vegas, Nevada to pursue my academic and baseball dream at Bishop Gorman High School. I positions are as a RHP and RHB, 3rd baseman and left field.
Representing my state of Victoria, as well as my county Australia have been life changing experiences in my baseball career. I was fortunate enough to be apart of excellent programs that enabled me to grow as a person and an athlete. Throughout my years of playing, I have learned that winning is important, but so is becoming a good person. I learned that values such as teamwork, sacrifice, commitment and time management are important to become a good student athlete.
I will be striving for a program that will enable me to to grow athletically and academically. I believe the aspect of requiring a great education will set me up for life. As I will be away from my family, my adopted family will be my coaches and team mates. I value education, and believe my talent and character will make an impact in your program.
