Eric Prosser '15 Recruiting Profile

Eric Prosser

Aspirations

My college aspirations are about fitting in with the team creating lasting friendships and giving those who swim with me someone to pace with, which is definitely something I am missing my senior year. It is extremely frustrating to have to pass someone every two laps. So I will do my absolute best to keep up with the fastest guy to get that competitive factor that has disappeared from my daily routine back in it. Goals that I have for my first year of swimming at a collegiate level are making it to nationals and who knows maybe even breaking some team records. Secondly I cant wait to practice with a different coach with new twists on workouts and hopefully has no problem with their swimmers being in the weight room, and reaching times that I didn't know I had the capability to reach.

What makes me different from other recruits? In character, I am a hard worker in everything that I do, both in school and out. I put my mind to everything whether it be schoolwork, lifting, or dedicating myself to each sport that I'm in. I'm am a humble person although this prompt would suggest otherwise. I really enjoy being around other people and I have yet to meet a person that I haven't gotten along with .

In athletics I have excelled in every sport that I have played except for baseball, in which I have had trouble hitting the ball. But in lacrosse I have been a starter for 4 years, granted we are a younger team but I became a starter because I was very coachable and I learned very quickly. Which is a quality that I hope most coaches are looking for in student athletes.

In academics I have excelled in the classroom especially in mathematics and science although I have had trouble with writing. Yet, I have still managed to keep a 3.472 GPA. I enjoy being in the classroom, around friends, and learning. Although sometimes it's a struggle in class but staying after and studying with friends and teachers is a huge help. Which, is definitely something I hope to have in college.

I can't wait to start my college athletic and academic career in a college with a college that is a perfect fit for me. I'm looking for a smaller size college with an active community and an active student body.
