My goal in college is to push myself to be the best student-athlete I can be and push my team to play the best that we can. That means pushing ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and for some, spiritually. I have been a part of team sports my whole life and played select baseball, club basketball, and club football, but the challenges that golf brought appealed to me more. I started my golf career just before my freshman year of high school and enjoyed it so much that I chose to pursue it as my top priority over my other team sports. I appreciate the mental aspect of the game because it helps me develop patience, perseverance, and mental fortitude. I have been in the top 20% of my class or better all throughout my 4 years of high school. I know what it takes to compete for myself, but also compete within the team so that we can overcome our opponents as a whole.
