Wrestling has shaped the person I am, and I believe it will shape the man I will become. Because of my passion for the sport, I have learned important athletic and life lessons through wrestling, I understand the importance of hard work, dedication, teamwork and most importantly overcoming adversity. I am also grateful that wrestling allowed me to develop as leader, having the privilege to serve as team captain for three years. In that role, I understood the importance of leading by example, discipline, commitment, and strong work ethic.
As a student-athlete, I learned the importance of balance, as well as prioritizing my studies and rigorous training schedule to be successful in both. Now as I look to the future, I hope to be able to pursue educational goals while competing at the highest level in the sport that I love. I have set challenging goals for myself both academically as well as an athlete, and I am fully committed to both. I am extremely excited to push myself well past the limit mentally and physically in pursuit of my goals while serving and complimenting the overall goal of the team. I believe I would be an asset to a team as I understand the importance of teamwork and the shared goals, commitment, and most importantly of putting the team first.
Below is a summary of my athletic experience as an indication of commitment and passion as a student athlete:
