WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE BVU?

I chose BVU because of its wonderful college environment, degree plan I am looking for, and very competitive financial offer.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE AS A BVU ATHLETE?

I hope that as a BVU athlete I can excel in my particular sport, cultivate in myself a stronger drive to succeed and to overcome hardships, meet other players and friends who can help me become the best I can be, and become a role model for determination, character and resilience to my friends, family, and the world.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR SPORT?

What I appreciate the most about golf is its illusion of simplicity, and the humbling feeling of constantly relearning this. All sports are very challenging both mentally and physically, but golf is special in how deceptively simple it feels; No quick reactions, no interference from opponents, no timer to see how fast you can go, it is just you and a little ball in the elements. And yet, the amount of strength and coordination you must have to play well is frustratingly large, which is a humbling realization to come to about how much better you can become.
