Phoenix Hollen '15 Recruiting Profile

I started playing tackle football when I was in the third grade and ever since I first stepped on the field I've had love for the game. I've always wanted to take my football career to the next level and I always strive for excellence whether it be in the weight room, on the field, or in the classroom. I never give anything less than all I've got. Whenever I make a mistake and my coach tells me to do something I only reply with a "yes sir" and then perform the task I've been given with the best of my ability. I have a great mindset and the will to win. What makes me different from all of the other recruits? Instead of going out and partying I compete in three sports a year (football, wrestling, and track), I take several AP classes, I volunteer at my church, and I tutor kids that are in need of help with their academics. I was the top fundraiser throughout the whole football program as well. I earned my Varsity letter during my Freshman year of track. I have competed at the varsity level in all three sports, competed at the national level in wrestling, placing fifth at Folk-style Nationals in Iowa, and was a part of the 2014 State Championship team in Division 1 high school wrestling. I also had the opportunity to be trained by Navy Seals with my football team and went through a 12 hour training overnight that involved both mental and physical training. I was one of five Juniors that had the opportunity to take part in this training with all of the Seniors. I am a physical athlete and I have never been injured. I have seen the best, competed with the best, beaten the best, and I am determined to be the best. I am humble yet confident in my abilities because I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
