Jackson Gernandt '19 Recruiting Profile

Maybe I could thrill you with all the details of my athletic accomplishments. You probably see that every day though, so I will try to use this time differently. I am a perpetual student, first and foremost. In athletics, academics, and in life. Immediately under my faith and my family, I place academics, sportsmanship, and accountability on my short list of high priorities. My three core values as an athlete are: Respect the Game, Dedicate to my Team, and Commit to Championship Skills. I live by these values, even when sometimes it's not the most "popular" or "easy" way... I also really like the quote "Work hard to earn your spot, work harder to keep it".

During competition, I trust my learned mechanics and let those guide the way. I give everything I have to my coaches and to my teammates, as I know they count on me and as I know they do in return. When I fail, I get back up, dust myself off, and begin preparing for my next opportunity. I have a desire to play baseball beyond High School while pursuing a degree in Engineering. I see the world with eyes wide open and always look forward to uncovering what lies ahead next for me..
