Personal Statement

Hi I'm Robert Bradley Puccio.  My collegiate goals and aspirations are to go and compete at the division one level, get my education, and grow as a young man.  I am very hardworking.  I do not believe that you can ever be good enough, and there is always room to improve as a student athlete.  I am a natural leader.  I do not feel that I am being the best I can be if I am not setting good examples for my team mates, and helping them get better and mature as I show them.  I am all about team.  Nothing is a one man show.  Without my team or better yet my second family I would not be put in the position for success as I am today.  Academically I have a 3.8 GPA and I am still trying to improve in the class room as well as on the field.  Education is placed before anything.  Without grades you are nothing.  Athletically I play many other sports.  After football ends I am straight into basketball, and then track/field.  Football is my passion.  I have started on the varsity football team since my freshman year.  We have won three straight regional championships, and two state championships since I have played on the team.  I have had the honor of being awarded First team All Western North Carolina, as well as Second team in the year past.  I have been All Smokey Mountain conference two years running, and also 1A All State.  I only want to better myself from this point on.
