My teaching and growth

Throughout my high school career, I've dedicated myself to being not just a participant but a leader in every sport I've played, whether it's wrestling, football, or other athletic endeavors. From the very beginning, my coaches instilled in me the importance of setting a high standard for myself—both on and off the field. They taught me that excellence isn’t just about winning, but about consistently pushing beyond what I thought was possible and exceeding expectations in every aspect of life. Whether it was through grueling practices, early morning workouts, or taking on leadership roles in team settings, I’ve learned that hard work and discipline are the foundation of success. I've also come to understand that rising to the top isn’t just about talent, but about perseverance, mental toughness, and always striving for improvement. This mindset has not only helped me excel in sports but has shaped the way I approach challenges in all areas of my life.
