Personal Statement

I have been throwing for eight years now and it has become more than just a sport to me. Competing in track and field has taught me a lot about life and about myself. I have learned that in order to achieve your goals, you must be willing to sacrifice everything you have. This past summer I gave up a lot of my free time to go into the weight room or go out and throw for a few hours. This is the type of dedication that I believe will help me excel at the next level. I am looking for a university and a track program that is passionate about making their student athletes better.  My goal as an athlete and as a person is to be the absolute best that I can be. I believe that I would be a valuable piece of any college track and field program for these reasons.

  • Matt started on a weightlifting program on July 1, 2013. This program was given to his high school track team by former Olympic thrower John Godina. Strength has been his main weakness as his technique is very advanced. With the help of this new program Matt hopes to have a big 2014 season.
