Personal Statement: My Involvement With The Local Football Program

The most meaningful interest that I would like to share is my involvement with the local football program. In my town, football is the one sport season where you can see nearly every citizen in the stands, cheering on our team. I see how important the sport is to my community, so for the last two years I have volunteered as a manager for the team, where I spend up to four hours every week day on the sidelines or in the weight room to ensure that the players and coaches are prepared for game day and practices.

Directly after school I would go to the field and report to the coaches that I was there for the day and then I would go directly inside the weight room building and fill the water containers and bottles and take them to the field before I could begin the other work to do inside. By the end of the season, I had put in over 136 hours involved with the program, before I moved on to helping with wrestling season as a mat
