Jack Giles '16 Recruiting Profile

Like any other athlete, my ultimate goal would be to turn professional. However, I am very aware of the chances of that happening and understand that my ability determines how far I go. So saying that, I would love to get a degree as a physiotherapist or in the area of exercise science. The main reason I would love to go to college is that I can get a degree and play baseball at the same time, which doesn't happen in Australia. What I believe separates me from other recruits is that I am willing to leave my family and friends behind and travel half way across the world in order to chase my dream. I don't want any special treatment for doing that and I'm willing to work extremely hard and help the team win, in whatever role that may be.
