2015 Skills Highl...Personal Statement
I just finished my Junior year at Montague High School in Montague, Michigan. I ended the school year with a 3.87 GPA and completed my Varsity baseball season as an All-State infielder for the 2ND consecutive year. I also play football (QB) and basketball (PG). I am now starting my off season training lifting weights as well as speed and agility. I am actively searching for a school that has a great baseball program and tradition, excellent academics, supportive hard-working peers, and outstanding coaches. I have an endless amount of drive and work ethic to succeed not only on the baseball field, but in the classroom as well. I plan to study Pre-Med and eventually become a Pediatrician. On the field, I want to contribute to a winning baseball team at any position and play at the highest possible level. I want to go to any college that will give me the best opportunity to succeed in life, both as a baseball player and as a Professional.
