What makes you different?
My whole life sports have been the only activity that made me feel truly free, because of this the love and passion that I have for it makes me extremely motivated and hungry to achieve the best results. Whichever college I get to represent I will ensure that I do everything to the best of my ability whether it be on or off the field. Most people would only show coaches that they mean business on the field, but I would should them results while playing my sport, results from the classroom and results from any other activities I choose to take part in. Getting the chance to play in the USA is a dream because it opens more doors and opportunities than my home country would for these very reasons, I would not disappoint which is why I am different from most people.
Why do you want to compete in college?
I would love to compete in college sports because the high standard played across the country would push me beyond my limits and ultimately make me improve as a player. Other than the high standards the opportunities that come with playing college sports are life changing and the lifelong bonds you make with teammates are truly special.
College Goals?
I would love to study Business Entrepreneurship and Art studio so my goals with those two subject choices would be to graduate at the top of my class and get the highest qualifications possible. My goals with my sport are to compete professionally alongside some of my idols and grow as a player by learning constantly from teammates and coaches. I would also love to work at sporting summer camps to help children with achieving their dreams.
Anything else we should know?
I love to surf, dive with sharks, participate in anything to do with speed, play video games and just live life to the fullest.
