Next Level U Statement

As a future student-athlete, my academic objective is to pursue a degree while maintaining a strong GPA. I want to gain a deep understanding of my chosen subject, develop critical thinking skills, and prepare myself for a successful career post-graduation. Athletically, my goal is to continually improve my performance, contribute to my team’s success, and push myself to be the best athlete I can be. I aim to balance my commitments to both academics and sports, creating a well-rounded experience that sets me up for success both in the classroom and on the ice. Long-term, I hope to compete at the highest level possible, and I also want to develop leadership qualities that will help me inspire and support my teammates. Ultimately, I aspire to use the discipline and work ethic from my athletic career to fuel my academic and professional success
