Michael Kanan '14 Recruiting Profile

May 2014
July 2013Personal Statement
My immediate goal and aspirations over the next few years is to go to college to get a quality education so that I can pursue a career that will be fulfilling and interesting to me. Along the way I hope to play college level golf because I do not want my thirst for golf competition to end after High School. I believe I have the skills to play beyond High School. I realize that before I can even think about playing college level golf I first must be accepted into a college where I can continue my journey of higher education. I have diligently prepared for college by studying hard, taking a variety of challenging classes, improving my study habits and building the social skills necessary to succeed in a university setting. I have also worked hard at improving my golf game by continuously practicing, playing in tournaments, physical fitness training and studying the mental aspects of the game.
