My Name is Robert Folk Jr, My collegiate goal is to graduate with a Bachelor"s Degree in Business Field while playing competitive football. I would like to own a horse farm after college. I believe I am an excellent candidate for your team because I am a dedicated team player. I have high football IQ as well as uplift my teammates when they are down and not focused. I am highly motivated with great leadership skills. I am a hard worker both on and off the field. I am different from other recruits because getting to where I am was not an easy feat. I started playing football at 10 years old. I wasn't the most athletic player on the team. I had to work twice as hard as some of the other players that had been playing since the age of 5. I learned to watch plays closely and figure out outcomes all while pressing myself to work hard physically. I was basically playing catch-up. When I got to high school, I was placed on the varsity football team as a freshman. I got limited playing time, but did not get discouraged. I worked harder in practice and spent more time listening to the coaches. I am highly coachable and still working just as hard to grow to prepare for college level football. While my grades have been good, I have to also work hard in the classroom. I have learned to focus better and seek assistance when I need it. I have learned that when I don't have all the answers, it is okay to ask for help. I also had to teach myself focusing techniques and coping techniques to overcome the diagnosis of ADHD, which I think was an incorrect diagnosis at the age of 10. Nonetheless, I viewed it as a stepping stone to drive me to become a better me. I also have a great support system that has allowed me to grow as a student and an athlete. I am very loyal to my family, friends, and teammates. I have 10 sibilings, and we learned that teamwork makes the dream work all of our lives. I don't believe in allowing myself or people surrounding me to believe in limits. We are only limited by our own thoughts. My determination to be the best I can be in all areas of my life had pushed me to work harder and learn to work smarter so that I can reach my highest potential. When I make a decision, nothing can stand in my way.
