Andrew Calderon '17 Recruiting Profile

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile.  I am very hardworking, driven and motivated.  I would be an asset for your school academically and athletically.  I am a good candidate for your team because I am a leader and a team player.  I am working hard to maintain a respectable GPA and to be a role model for my sister and younger cousins.  I want to show them that because I care about my grades, it gives me the privilege to participate in sports and when and have more opportunities to attend the college of your choice.  I am different from other recruits because I am academically and athletically strong.  The way I perform during practice is the way I perform in games.  I strongly feel that you practice how you play and you have to give 110% all the time.  I've been playing baseball since I was 3 years old.  In addition to playing baseball, I’ve played soccer for 10 years. I was awarded MVP of my high school freshman soccer team.  My sophomore year, I was given the opportunity to start as varsity kicker for Richard High School’s football team.  In my junior year, I kicked a 51 yard field goal and hope to be able to break the Illinois record in my senior year.  I was also involved in Tae Kwon Do where I achieved the honor of a black belt along with numerous awards for placing in tournaments in sparing, form and breaking.  I am dedicated and strive for success.  I have proven this by receiving many recognitions throughout the years in sports and hope to continue to do so in years to come.  I would love the opportunity to talk with you about your school and athletic programs.  Thank you again for taking the time to view my profile.
