Personal Statement
Currently, I have 2 remaining years of eligibility; I have a strong desire to pursue a program that allows me to earn an MBA while competing at a higher level. I am a very dedicated student-athlete and I have a true passion for throwing. I pride myself on always trying to learn more about events so that I can understand myself on a deeper level so that I can improve.
I believe that the keys to success are working with athletes and coaches, a keen ability to focus, and a strong desire to learn and excel.
In selecting a college, my first priority is to find an institution which best fits my academic and athletic ability. I am looking to be part of an institution that provides me with the ability to contribute to a team as well as growing as an athlete, a student, and as a person.
I am open-minded in considering colleges in any location or size. I am very excited about pursuing my college dreams and welcome the opportunity to be considered.
