In all my time playing sports, which includes soccer basketball and baseball all at varsity levels I have always been the one guy who the coach goes to to get the guys working harder. In basketball I remember specifically after I left, after my sophomore season, my coach came up to me junior year and was explaining to me how much he misses having me on the team because it was difficult getting the right community on the team in order to get them working hard and taking the game seriously. In my time, freshman and sophomore year playing soccer basketball and baseball at varsity levels. I received three total release performance awards, which is a special award for my school that goes to one person on each team that gives it everything on the court/field for the Lord. This year, I was the head of our soccer defense after being a three-year starter after hurting my knee freshman year although our team did not have much talent this year, our defense was able to make great strides from the beginning of the season to the end, this was not due solely to my leadership, but for the community me and the other captains brought of hard work and dedication to the team.
