Athletics has done many things for me two of which are dedication and teamwork. Dedication is vitally important for me as an athlete. It was necessary for me to go to every practice because I did not want to let my team down. My family knew that I wanted to always go to practice, so we have not taken many family vacations because I was almost always in a sport. Another aspect of my dedication is the term Lombardi time, when Vince Lombardi was a coach he a rule that you had to show up to practice fifteen minutes early to ensure that you were not late, I took this extra fifteen minutes very seriously and for the most part extended it to thirty minutes early so for almost every practice and game I am thirty minutes early to give myself to stretch

    Apart from football, athletics has been sport that I favoured, and I participated at my secondary school where I was taught by high-level teachers and was taught the basic techniques of the events that I did in athletics which were 200m, 400m, long jump and high jump. From participating I was invited to go to an event to represent the school and from this I was noticed by county coaches and was offered to go to the county training sessions. Being at the county training sessions made me focus much harder on the specifics of my events for example looking at the way I run, the stance I create at peak jump in long jump and where to position myself best and analysing the different angles at which to run at the pole in high jump and how to approach it or what style of jump I should perform. I realised that coaching sciences had improved since moving from my secondary school to a more elite level as they started to track my eating, amount of exercise I did and even what I did on a day to day basis. As well as this they looked at heart rate and pressure and took many other figures of me and other individuals which showed me that they were serious and committed

Dedication is a term that has guided me throughout my time at LaSalle Academy. This trait is one that I refuse to be stripped away from me as I am dedicated to identifying various approaches that will allow my success. Despite numerous obstacles that have been put in my, my dedication continues to be my driving force to success. Hence, being one of the few underrepresented students attending a private Catholic school, my dedication to adapt to change, in regard to race, social class, and rigor has inspired me to stand out as a role model for those who may share a similar background as mine. Nevertheless, as this personal statement displays how my dedication allowed me to discover my drive to excel at LaSalle, having found a passion in meeting new people, participating in sports, taking clubs centered on social concerns, and taking advanced placement courses I believe I am more dedicated than ever as I prepare to take on the next chapter of attending college.
