Christopher Peechatka '17 Recruiting Profile

Hello Coaches and Scouts:

I am a multi-sport athlete and have been my whole life.  Dedication, hard work and discipline are major themes for me.  I gained these qualities throughout six years of intense training to earn my black belt in Tang Soo Do.  These traits are a great foundation for me both on and off the field.

Upon graduation, I hope to play for a very competitive NCAA program.  However, I am striving to compete at the DI level.   I plan on majoring in business/finance in effort to become the CEO of a major corporation.  I express great leadership qualities that will make me ideal for the job.  I received the role of captain for many of my teams including my 7th through 9th grade basketball team, travel baseball team and club soccer team.  I communicate very effectively on and off the field, always keeping my head in the game and my competition level fierce.

I have sustained a 3.7 GPA throughout my high school career, challenging myself with honors and AP courses.  As I enter into my junior year, I have already met all of the Keystone exam requirements for graduation.  I have also completed 3 years of Spanish.  I am a very well rounded student, as I am also a participant in band and chorus. 

Each winter I am responsible for instructing clinics for our local youth basketball association.  Our varsity teams also run summer youth camps for young soccer and basketball athletes.  I am enthusiastic about giving back to the community that has given me countless opportunities.

Although I am an asset to all three of my high school teams, (soccer, basketball and baseball), baseball is what I strive to play in college.  I started varsity at my quad A high school my sophomore year. In addition to my school practices each night I hit up to 200 balls off the tee or in the cage as well as weight lift.  I do what is necessary on and off the field to be an elite level athlete.  This includes a strict diet, free of gluten, dairy and minimal sugar. 

As a result of my hard work, I have been selected to: 2014 Connie Mack state all-star game, 2014 Keystone state games, 2015 Legion underclassman showcase and 2015 Legion All-star game. “When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.”  Eric Thomas
