Word People Describe You

2011-11-04T05:35:00.000-07:00

The word I hope people describe me as is dedicated. During the course of this year I have given significant time and effort into helping out my high school's effort to win a soccer championship. Both girls and boys varsity soccer I have worked with the goalies on multiple occasions, I was at nearly every home game setting up the field, and recently during the playoffs I have been to every game despite the weather conditions. The past two days, Wednesday and Thursday I traveled up north to Hanover to watch the girls and boys semifinal games, which has been a nearly all day event. It's not just supporting my high school with soccer, it's tennis and bowling among other things which I invest all my effort into to try and get better.

My dream job

2011-10-21T05:47:00.000-07:00

My dream job is to be a college baseball, tennis, or goalie coach for soccer. I've always liked baseball and it has been my favorite sport to watch growing up. I know a lot about the sport, the mechanics, and what to do in certain situations. I like the idea of managing an entire team and being in control of it. I want to make the decisions of when to take the pitcher out of the game and pinch hitters and runners.

I'd also want to be a college tennis coach because I love playing tennis and it is the sport I know the most about. Being a tennis coach doesn't really require as much involvement I think as other sports, which is upsetting, you just send your six best out there and hope they win. I've had a little experience in coaching some tennis players from my high school, running their practices, and showing them the basics.

I would also be a goalie coach for soccer if I got the chance. This may be more of a side job, but I would still like to do it at some point in my life. Training goalies is something I have done since my Junior year in high school. I have trained multiple goalies from my high school as well as a few other local high schools. I enjoy training goalies and making them better, which is exactly what a goalie coach on a collegiate level would do.

I would equally enjoy being a tennis or a baseball coach later in life. I feel as if I could start off at a goalie coach at some larger high school or club and then switch to baseball or tennis if I want to. I want to be a coach because I want to see people improve in the sport.

Favorite Quote

2011-09-29T18:35:00.000-07:00

My favorite quote is "its not the hours you put in, its what you put in the hours." by Sam Ewing. I like this quote because it relates to pretty much everything you do in life. Specifically for me I think of it more as a sports message. It doesn't matter how many hours I put in at minimal effort, the only hours that matter are the ones where you try your hardest. I play tennis so whenever I go out to practice I set a certain amount of time out and put in my maximum amount of effort, so this quote really relates to how I think as well.

Characteristic to change

2011-09-22T19:53:00.000-07:00

A characteristic I would like to improve over the course of my college stay is to become a little more outgoing. College I think is a perfect place to try and make this change, because I am constantly around people and I don't really know any of them. It's a good opportunity to meet new people and to do that I need to be more outgoing. I don't want to just be more outgoing around friends, but in the classroom as well. I would like to get myself to become more active in class discussions, which is something I did not do much during high school.

Social Goal

2011-09-15T22:02:00.000-07:00

The social goal I have for college is that I hope to become friends with the players on the tennis team. I think it's important to have friendship with your teammates in order to have a successful season. I hope to accomplish this by going to every practice and staying positive during matches.

Academic goal

2011-09-15T21:42:00.000-07:00

My academic goal is to not fail any classes and to have over a 3.0 throughout college. Because im playing tennis I need to make sure that I don't fail off of the team and also I need to make sure that I don't fail and have to retake the same classes. In addition, I want over a 3.0 so I don't have any worries throughout my college years.
