Noah Manly '15 Recruiting Profile

I love history and plan to have this as my major with a minor in business because I would like to learn from history's successes and failures as a great platform to understand the business world and where it is going. My goal is to grow in maturity and learn as much as I can to help my family's new company to succeed and continually make wise decisions.

I am focusing 100% of my energy to be the best wrestler I can be, leaving football and lacrosse. While I did not finish as well as I desired at Regionals for the 2013-14 MHSAA season as I planned, I have grown in great strides since then, competing every weekend in the USA wrestling circuit and other events. I have been actively training three days per week in the wrestling room and three in the weight room. On May 19th at State Finals, I placed 3rd for Freestyle and 4th for Greco, and as a result, I was selected for the National Team representing Michigan. I am now training every weekend with the national team, preparing to compete in Oklahoma City for the National Duals and in Fargo for the Individual Nationals. No matter how how I do, I know I will give 100%, and I will come back a much higher-level wrestler.

I have been raised in a Christian home, where our faith is strong and the core of our focus. I am the President of the FCA group (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) at my school in Chelsea, MI. While my beliefs are strong and at the front of my decision-making, I believe others have different opinions and beliefs, and that no matter what I say, unless I live and lead by example and care for others, my words mean nothing. Integrity is everything, and my faith maintains my conviction in this area.
