Driver Swing Personal Statement
I am currently a member of the Alexandria Community College golf team in Alexandria, MN. We are NJCAA Divison 2. My goal after this season is to transfer to a Division 1 program. I am majoring in business but don't have it exactly narrowed down to what I want to do yet. I would be a fantastic asset to any team for many reasons. I was one of the captains for my hockey team and also was the captain of the golf team in Detroit Lakes Minnesota. I am a great leader, team mate, very coach able and am a great sport. I think playing multiple sports in high school made me understand how to be a total team player. It would be an honor to play Divison 1 college golf and I will give my all for any program who wants me! I may not be the best ball-striker you have ever seen but I will beat kids with my metal toughness. I never give up and I grind until the very end. I can be very valuable and help out in so many different ways! I won the Derick Brehm Memorial Award in 2019 and this award was created in memory of a Detroit Lakes Laker hockey alumni who passed away two summers ago in a tragic accident and it is given to the player who best exemplifies leadership, character, coach ability, hard work, toughness, and dedication to his team. It is an honor to have received such a prestigious award in the first year of its existence.
