August 2020Personal Statement
Dear Sir or Ma'am,
I want to go to a great college because I want a solid education and I want to learn skills that I can rely on to help me succeed throughout life and achieve my goals. I also love waterpolo and want to play a sport that I enjoy and compete at a higher level.
I am a driven dedicated player who will go to great lengths to improve my skills as well as the team dynamic. I love to learn new skills and am open to fit any play style.
I don’t have an ego about my stats and am willing to help out the team in any way. If someone else has a better angle, I will not hesitate to pass instead of worrying about my stats for the game. We win as a team or we don’t win at all. I place a strong focus in my life on improving myself physically and academically. Instead of partying and drinking, I follow strict diets, work out plans, and study schedules that take up a large majority of my free time.
I look forward to joining a team that works hard and will help me get better every day that I’m in the pool.
