April 2016Personal Statement
Selecting the right school / program is very important to me. I am looking forward to not only competing, but winning at the collegiate level.
There are several things that I bring to a team:
- Character...Doing right regardless of the situation is critical. I have made mistakes. I make sure to apologize, make corrections and learn from them.
- Solid academics...I study and do well in school (3.2 GPA / Honors Diploma / 1240 SAT)
- Leadership...I lead by doing. I am at the course early. I stay late. I encourage others.
- Competitor...My game is solid and improving at a rapid rate. Scores are dropping and I am consistently putting together some great rounds. I want to win. I will win. It doesn't matter what the challenge is, I will compete to win.
- Commitment...I can be counted on to do my part to improve the team.
- Teachable...I listen and put in the time / effort required to improve; whether it is on the course, in the weight room or in the classroom.
Thank you for reviewing my profile. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. If you are interested in speaking with a credible reference, I would encourage you to contact my swing coach Quinn Griffing.
Sincerely,
Cayden Yourdon
