About Athlete
“The harder you work, the luckier you get!” (Gary Player) My purpose is to combine hard work with my academic and sporting talent. I started playing golf at the age of 14, I am still progressing and plan to peak my career in collage with ultimate dedication.
I love engaging and socializing with different kinds of people and their personalities intrigue me. Sport and especially golf is like a life story each match or game contains lessons about life, you can use to improve your personal growth. The variety, goal setting and challenges in golf is what I strive for. Patience, honesty and NEVER give up are the most significant lessons I have learned in golf.
The business course I want to study is once again engaging with people and determining what I can do to improve their lives, through my creative thinking.
Golf as well as business teaches you how to follow and abide by rules. I have the motivation and determination to leave an impact on the collage team.
