Connor Lyons '18 Recruiting Profile

I am passionate about baseball.  I have set a goal to play baseball beyond high school.  I like to see myself as a hard working athlete and student.  In the classroom I enjoy learning and succeeding in all of my classes.  My goal for academics is cracking the 15 mark for class rank.  I am sitting right now at 20 and I am working hard and I am committed everyday to reach my goal.  Out on the field, I am willing to receive feedback to make me better.  I like to see myself as a coachable athlete and a team player.  I have set many goals for baseball and academics in high school as well as for my future college.  As a high honors student, I am taking challenging classes.  When I am a junior, I will continue challenging myself in taking AP classes.  Last year, I was one of six students of the whole school earning half of an academic credit for completing 75 hours of community service.  I take pride in giving back to my community.  On and off the baseball field, I am a role model to my younger brother and other younger athletes who have the same love for baseball.  Having a passion for baseball and academics, I realize there is a balance and sacrifices will have to be made.  I am willing to put effort and discipline in both academics and baseball to make myself a better student and athlete.
