Jake Stephan '14 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was little I knew what I wanted to do, I wanted to play in the NHL. I have dreamed of it since being in mites. Dreaming is the first step in achieving your goals. I learned that hard work pays off when I was rewarded with the starting varsity position as a freshman. After that, I started believing I could do it, which is the second step in reaching your goals. Now, halfway through my senior year I am succeeding as a result of my efforts. I believe in myself and feel confident that I can do it. "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." -Marianne Williamson I firmly believe in this quote and as I move forward in my abilities I am unlocking the mental powers that martial arts master Bruce Lee used. I show up to play every day and I know I will do whatever it takes to reach my goals.
