PERSONAL STATEMENT
As a student, learning is a passion of mine and I enjoy the mental challenges that a rigorous AP course load offers. As an athlete, I enjoy the competition, as well as the mental and physical demands that playing a sport requires. Being a student athlete is very gratifying to me because I like expanding my mind and challenging my body to perform its best.

PERSONAL INFORMATION		  
Describe Your Playing Style?: On a baseball field I play assertively and aggressively. One major asset of mine is that I am quick and run 60 yards in 6.66 seconds. As a centerfielder this speed comes alive as a because of my quick reflexes and that I read the ball off of the bat very quickly. I am able to cover large amounts of territory in the outfield and assist the other outfield positions. My speed also very helpful in running the bases and I frequently bunt and steal. Last season I stole 12 for 14 bases. The unique skill sets that I acquired from baseball and quick reflexes and speed from 9 years of competitive soccer have helped develop me into a more skilled baseball player.
