Elizabeth Preston...Personal Statement
I believe in the team and being a piece of a team. I am part of many teams (softball, cheer, ROTC, model UN) and I understand that it takes many different parts working together to form a great team. A team effort is described as 12 individuals plus a coaching staff who use their strengths to make up for another's weaknesses. A team is a group who finds their happy medium and then expand their horizons to go to the next level. I want to be a major cog in that team.
I am a leader that leads by example. I am the one that is first on the field or weight room and last out. I study hard and strive to be the best at everything I do. I think I am a good fit for any team that wants to reach the best level of softball that they can reach. I want a coach who isn't afraid to give me the harsh facts of my playing technique and then works with me to correct any issues. I am an athlete that is coachable and is always wanting to improve myself.
If I am chosen for your program, I know that I am going to be one of the most coachable and hardest working athletes whether it is on the field or in the classroom at the school.
