João's Goal: 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.
