As a college athlete I have developed essential skills such as teamwork, discipline, and time management. Balancing my academic commitments with training, practice and competition has taught me how to multitask and manage my time effectively. I have had to overcome adversity and learned the importance of persistence and determination. Through my athletic pursuits, I have developed a strong work ethic and commitment to achieving my goals. I view myself as a highly coachable person and a quick learner. I believe that the lessons I have learned through sports, such as the value of finishing what I start, will serve me well in any professional setting.
