Gustavo Gamboa ‘20 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I'm looking to continue to get great grades in college, but I'd be lying if I didn’t state, my love for baseball. And if possible, and a big maybe I'd do soccer to.  I've played above level in both sports. I feel I'm mentally smart in both sports which is actually the bigger battle to overcome as you move up through the years. So to be honest, I had a great hitting year both Fresh and Soph. I had a great year of pitching Freshman year, but my sophomore coach never pitched me.   At varsity tryouts as a junior I threw 85mph consistently, and they asked why I did not pitch sophomore year. I told them I did not know. Then just before the season started my back started bothering me and I ended up sitting out the entire season. No surgery was needed, just rest. It was a major disappointment, but looking back now, it might be a blessing in disguise as my arm feels strong.  I'm completely healthy now, as I just finished my high school soccer season injury free, and now that it is over, I've started my exercise program, and doing some baseball training. I'm looking to have a great baseball season and lead my high school team to another state championship. And though I didn’t talk of my education much, it is just as important to me as baseball. I’m looking  to get in the field of Health and Science.
