I strive for excellence in everything I do from everyday life, to academics, to the football field. I believe it is not something that is or can be given to you, it is something you must work longingly for in everything you do. I believe that there is no wall that is insurmountable with perseverance and determination. Yes at times things may seem tough, but there is nothing that being mentally strong and having a positive outlook can't get you through. I believe that I am not a perfect athlete but I will never stop taking steps forward to achieve that impossible goal. I will do so with a hard work ethic and a desire to be better today than I was yesterday.
At the collegiate level I will strive to learn all that is possible to learn in my field of choice, graduate, and get my degree. I would like to have experiences to better prepare me for the life ahead of me after schooling. On the field I will not stop trying to better myself even after I've reached my personal goals of becoming both a starter and a team captain.
I believe myself to be a motivator on the field. I push my teammates to preform beyond their previous expectations of themselves and encourage them when they do so and when they don't. I play the game hard to win, but I do so cleanly in between the whistles.
