Matt Epstein Golf...Personal Statement
I would like to attend college and play golf at the highest level possible; for me this means starting freshman year at an academically competitive division 1 program. I hope to help my collegiate team win a NCAA Championship while maintaining a high GPA. I am looking for a coach and program that pushes me on and off the course to be the best version of myself. It is important that I philosophically connect with a coach.
I have really enjoyed being a part of my high school team. I was honored by being named Captain as a Sophomore and have helped lead our team to League Titles and competing in the State championship as a team and individual. I have a strong work ethic and consider myself responsible, independent and trustworthy. I tend to lead by example. In addition to golf, I used to play both baseball and basketball at the highest levels in youth sports and have learned what it takes to be part of a successful team.
My current course load as a Sophomore is challenging and I plan to continue this rigorous case load through graduation in 2020.
