João Ceia Pereira Iglésias

My goal is to combine my academic studies and my sporting talent in golf, in order to develop in the various areas of the game. So, with this experience at a Junior College, I plan to move on to a 4-year university (DI or DII), with a good team and training conditions that will help me become an even better player, making my game even more consistent. I have the experience and motivation to work hard on both of the necessary attributes in order to leave a very positive impact on the college team I currently represent, Dodge City Junior College, and thus prepare for my transition to the next stage.
