I have always wanted to attend a college in the USA ever since watching a college football game on TV. After witnessing the high level of play, passion, intensity and of course the huge crowd, it instantly drew me in to the atmosphere surrounding sport in the US. To a college team, I would bring a tireless work ethic that drives me to constantly strive for improvement and I believe this will help me in my career in track and field both short term and long term. Alongside this I am a very 'coachable' individual.

I am willing to try most techniques, methods or training formats that my coaches put forward to me as I recognise they would be aiming to further my ability within the area of sport and help me improve my results. Another key strength of mine is that I have the discipline to balance my academic and sporting demands. This discipline helps me control the peripheral aspects that may impact my sport, such as diet and lifestyle.

Possibly my biggest asset to a college team is my versatility in track and field. Already in my short

career, I have competed at the English Schools Championships in each of the heavy throws (hammer, discus and shot). For my club, I have regularly competed in all throws events and in sprints and sprint relays, when asked, including in league finals.

I am looking forward to becoming immersed in a new culture out in the US, especially in a sporting sense. I am hoping this new environment will help me further my sporting career whilst attaining a well-rounded education.
