I believe that my strongest individual attribute to any team is my athleticism and grit. Ever since I was young, I have always been very driven in everything I do. This drive helps me not only in the tough, crucial last minutes on the field but also In the offseason. I am a firm believer that games are won and lost in the offseason, which is why i take almost no days off in the winter and am either in lifting or at speed and agility training every day. I have always had only one goal in my mind: to be the best student-athlete I can possibly be, and I will stop at nothing to achieve that goal. I pride myself in always being the hardest working, most tenacious player on the field, regardless of the circumstances. Another characteristic I pride myself in is my leadership. Ever since I was a freshman, I have always put the team before myself and led not only through my words but also through being a positive example each and every day. I am also currently a starting defensive end on the varsity football team. I am a very dedicated student as well; I maintain a strong GPA and take college-level government and honors pre-calculus courses. I also love to play guitar, snowboard, fish, and hunt.
