FROM THE TIME I STARTED PLAYING BASEBALL, I WAS TAUGHT TO BE INTENTIONAL AND SHAKE MY COACHES' HAND AND SAY "THANKS COACH" AFTER EACH PRACTICE OR GAME. THIS IS THE KIND OF PLAYER AND TEAMMATE THAT I AM.
I SHOW UP EARLY, ASK FOR EXTRA FIELD TIME AND ASK MY COACHES TO GIVE MORE AND MORE REPS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I AM VERY COACHABLE, A GOOD LISTENER, AND A NATURAL LEADER. I ALWAYS TRY TO FIND WAYS TO PUSH MYSELF AND MY TEAM MATES TO NEW LIMITS TO GET BETTER AND STRONGER. I LOVE GOING TO CROSSFIT 3-4 DAYS A WEEK AND SOMETIMES LETTING MY SISTER "BEAT" ME WHEN WE GO ON RUNS TOGETHER.

WHEN I AM NOT PLAYING BASEBALL OR HANGING OUT WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS I AM VERY INVOLVED IN MY COMMUNITY. I AM ON THE LEADERSHIP TEAM AT MY CHURCH FOR THE YOUTH GROUP WHERE I AM OFTEN FOUND CREATING FUN SKITS OR SONGS TO LEAD PEOPLE CLOSER TO GOD. I HELP THE ELDERS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND REALLY LIKE WORKING WITH OTHER STUDENTS AT MY HIGH SCHOOL THAT HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS, THEY ALWAYS MAKE ME LAUGH AND IT IS A HIGHLIGHT IN MY DAY. WHEN I FIND OTHER FREE TIME, I LOVE TO HUNT AND FISH WITH MY DAD.

PLAYING BALL HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FOCUS. TO ME IT THE BEST THING EVER AND THE HEART AND SOUL OF WHAT I DO, WHAT I WATCH, WHAT I EAT, WHAT I SLEEP AND WHAT I DRINK. I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH. MY GOAL IS TO PLAY AT THE NEXT LEVEL AND GIVE IT EVERYTHING I'VE GOT!
