Personal Statement

Hello College Coaches,

I am Hugh Saulsbury, and I am excited to prove to you why I should earn a spot on your college roster. I started playing water polo in 7th grade and have loved the sport since.  Of my qualities that I've developed through water polo, the two I am most proud of are my excellent work ethic, and my ability to quickly learn/take advice. I always make sure to attend every practice possible, even dreaded 5 AM workouts. I always make sure I get in the pool first, on time, no matter how cold the water looks. I do my part to help set up and clean up the pool for every practice, and always try to encourage my teammates to do so as well. In games, scrimmages, or practices, I actively seek the advice of coaches and teammates, and immediately try practicing their advice so I can use as soon as possible to improve my game. When I make mistakes, I make sure to figure out what I did wrong immediately, so that I never make the same mistake twice.  

Receiving a spot on your college roster is something everyone must earn, and I am prepared to prove to you why I should earn a spot. Water Polo is the most fun thing I do on a daily basis, and I can't wait to show you how I can be a valuable asset to your team!

Thank You,

Hugh Saulsbury
