My name is Sammy Leal. I am 15 years old and I am a freshman attending MedHigh in Mercedes, TX. After high school, I plan to attend Texas A&M where I will major in sports medicine and become a physical therapist. I have been training in the martial arts for 9 years and am currently a second degree blackbelt in taekwon-Do. Within that time, I have competed at many
tournaments at the local, state, and national level and have won numerous titles as well. My accomplishments include local championships, 2 time state champion, 1 time NBL world champion, Top 10 NASKA Champion, and a current member of TEAM USA. I compete in various divisions such as traditional forms in Korean and Japanese forms, weapons division, with the bo staff being my specialty, as well as point sparring. I believe the many hours I’ve invested in training have allowed me to fulfill all my accomplishments thus far, but I’m not done yet. I have many more goals yet to fulfill and I know I can achieve them because I remind myself as well as the students who look up to me to “always believe in yourself and the rest will follow.”
