I learned to play golf when I was nine years old. My favorite part of the game was the constant challenge it presented. I still enjoy driving myself to improve. No matter how well I play today I know I can work on some aspect of my game and get better.
My strongest trait is my work ethic. I practice nearly every day, no matter the weather or other inconveniences. In the off season I practice twice each week with my private coach, I go to a heated outdoor range or I use the net in my garage. Being dedicated and disciplined is the best way to improve.
Although golf is an individual sport I truly enjoy being part of a team. Helping others achieve and relying on them to help pick me up so we can all be part of something bigger makes me feel fulfilled. I am coachable. I look to my coaches and teammates to help me figure out what to work on next.
The discipline I exhibit on the range and on the course extend to the classroom. I work hard for the good grades I have and I am proud of what I have accomplished. I love the challenge of learning and I want to make sure my college will present an opportunity to grow academically.
Playing college golf has been a dream since I started with the game. Pushing myself and competing at a high level against other great players motivates me.
