Personal Statement
I am a student-athlete who understands it takes hard work and the right attitude to succeed in my education and sport. Because I understand this I have chosen to go to Western Sierra Collegiate Academy because of its singular college focus, despite its baseball team being Division 7. WSCA is No. 8 in California for college admissions per US News and World Report. For the best baseball training in our region, I am working out and playing 8-9 months of the year with Admirals Baseball out of Vacaville, CA. Admirals is a college development program headed up by Dyron Rollings. I also work on developing as an athlete with weight and resistance/agility training and group hitting three times weekly at Elite Athletics in Roseville, CA.
