Personal Statement
· I am passionate about running and self-motivated to train and compete. I have a rigorous training programme supported by conditioning exercises. I monitor my health and nutrition carefully and I read about the latest development in performance improvement.I work closely with my coaches and respect their wisdom and guidance. I am a strong leader and team player and always give at least 110%. I have been chosen to lead my school, club and country athletic teams.
I inspire my peers and younger children to do well in their sport. I am a popular person, but measured. I know my academic and running achievements can always be improved and guard against complacency and arrogance.
I study hard and I am doing very well in my studies, working on assignments as well as exams. I have learnt that my best working style is regular and often – I am a strong supporter of the marginal gains mantra. I have just achieved 4 A grades and one high B grade in my Scottish Highers in August 2016.
I want the very best running and academic experience as I move into adulthood. I am determined to learn and run in the USA and with the help of a scholarship to compete, to be all I can be and give back to the community.
