Next Level U Statement
I am interested in attending a four-year institution to obtain an undergraduate degree in medical science. Education is a crucial aspect of my life, and I strive to become the best student-athlete I can be. My goal is to become an athletic medical physician while continuing to play flag football and getting involved in the sport for as long as possible. Flag football means so much to me, as it has provided me with numerous opportunities, memories, and friendships. As a player, I am determined, dedicated, and open-minded. I aim to be a leader and have a positive influence on those around me. I love the game and am eager to learn more about it. My grandpa taught me that “games are won in the locker room,” and that being part of a team means being a family, regardless of whether you win or lose.
