During my sophomore year of high school, I worked unbelievably hard to transition from a football offensive tackle to a varsity track and field thrower. I developed a passion for throwing, and I was inspired to work until I achieved greatness. I participated in intense workouts to prepare myself for the oncoming track and field season. I was taught the difficult task of how to do a spinning shotput throw, and I am working on my technique to this day. This proves my intense motivation to become the best athlete I possibly can be. My strong work ethic shines throughout my progress as a throwing athlete. I want to bring my qualities and athletic abilities to a great school and make the school proud. I want to compete at the collegiate level while maintaining a strong academic career. No matter what the situation, I will put forth my best self to complete the task.
