June 2016Personal Statement
If I were to describe myself; I would not describe myself as just a baseball player or just an athelete. I would describe myself as a hard worker, team player, intellectual who has never allowed the circumstances of my life to deter me from becoming a better person today than I was on yesterday. There have been many adversities in my life but it is my Faith in God that helps me believe that adversity is just a stepping stone to greatness. I refuse to quit on baseball, in the classroom or waiver in my faith.
In my house the rules with my mom are simple for my brother and I; "no grades, no plays". So I know that my performance in the classroom is just as important as my performance on the baseball or soccer field. I knew the first time I stepped up to the plate to play t-ball that this was something that I loved. Playing baseball is a driving force in many areas of my life. I have been blessed to have great coaches that have helped me to become better and better. I have never thought about giving up baseball but I have also been hurt by the politics that sometime surround the game in a small rural area such as mine. I just use that adversity to grow not only as a baseball player but as a youngman.
What makes me different from other recruits is that my ability to play baseball and excel in several sports does not totally define who I am as a young man. Yes, each year I get stronger, run faster, cover more area in the outfield and grow as a batter but there is so much more that defines who I am becoming. My faith in God, my belief that it takes a team to win or lose, the knowledge that I gain in the classroom and my volunteer work with and for others is helping mold my future. I look forward to attending a four year university and hopefully playing baseball at the collegiate level and maybe even beyond. I also aspire to work in the medical field as a Nurse or in some area of Sports Medicine. I feel that I am coachable and very eager to learn. The one quote that I remind myself daily is "The difference between a successful person and others is not lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but a lack of will". – Vince Lombardi,
