PERSONAL STATEMENT
I am happiest on the baseball diamond. I have played the game my entire life and it has been a source of joy for me no matter what challenges I faced. My goal, since a very young age, has been to play at the next level and I will do anything it takes tom achieve that goal.

PERSONAL INFORMATION		  
Describe Your Playing Style?: I am a player that hits for power with a mature eye at the plate. With power I am also able to hit for high average. Despite my ability to hit I am also selfless at the plate and will lay down bunts for my team when it is asked of me. Defensively, I am leader on the field whether I am at first or behind the dish.I have a strong arm and I am able to move well.

Favorite Athlete(s) and why?: My favorite athlete is Buster Posey. He has been an increasing inspiration this past year as I have been in recovery. I did research and watched videos on his own experience with ankle injuries and his ability to play again after. He is a stand up character and one of the best offensive and defensive catchers of all time. In other sports, I also enjoy watching Jordan Spieth. He is not only a young passionate player on the PGA tour, but he also shows humility beyond his years and has a devout christian faith.
Other activites and interests: Within the realm of Athletics I have interest in Baseball, Football, Golf, and Skiing. I also love to lift. Outside of sports I love to read, play guitar and draw. I also enjoy hanging out with my friends whether its going bowling or to watching a movie.
Who's been the biggest influence on my sports career and why?: My father has been the biggest influence in my life as well as in my sports career. His upbringing is anything but traditional and his perseverance has shown me how to work hard for what you want. He taught me that nothing will be handed to you. Besides teaching me drive, he has also instilled a love for athletics since my birth, never saying no when I wanted to try a new sport. To this day he still attends most of my games shooting video and supporting me. I owe my success to his support and encouragement these past 18 years.
About Me: I am part of a loving family of five and I have an older sister and a younger sister. Family is important to me, as mine has done so much to support me and help me grow. My faith is also very important to me and it helps shape who I am and how I live my life. I am a very loyal and dedicated person that will fight for those I care about. I am also dedicated and disciplined. I believe these qualities serve me well when playing as part of baseball team.
