I am a young Senior in High School (turning 17 in late October senior year), as I started school early when I lived in Japan. As a 16 year old senior I am competing with students sometimes 2 years older than I am. My goal is to play at an elite JUCO for at least a year and grow as a pitcher. My personal collegiate goals are to play for a Division 1 or 2 school and graduate with a degree in business. What makes me a good candidate for your program? I am very competitive and willing to do things that will help me improve so that I can become the best player possible. I am a genuine team player. The thing that makes me different from the other athletes is I was raised in a Military environment, majority overseas, and I have no issues with following direction and improving from constructive criticism. When and if mistakes are made I quickly adapt and overcome to keep the focus on the task at hand. I am a very quick learner in many aspects, but I have to spend more time than I would like studying math. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to future communication.
