James Gardner '18 Recruiting Profile

     I have my future planned out for going to college. I plan to attend college to major in architecture, sports marketing, or religious studies dealing with the youth and earn a bachelors degree. My other goals other than having academic achievements are to play either basketball, track, or football at the collegiate level.  I'd like to continue one of those three sports going in to college and give my all to whatever program I compete for. 

     As a student athlete, I believe I have a lot of different abilities and can be counted on as a college student athlete.  I work hard in school to keep my grades up, so none of my coaches will have to worry about that.  I work hard at everything I do, whether it's a drill in practice, studying, or competing in an event.  I am easy to work with along with being a good listener.  I do what coaches tell me to do the first time and go through with it in full stride. 

     I feel as I'm different from other recruits because I am a leader, not a follower.  I can easily learn how to compete in any sport. Play any position and only grow and get better. I also believe I have a higher gpa than most athletes in my grade level.
