Ethan Sands '17 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ethan Sands and I am a senior at Mount Hebron High School. I will graduate with the Class of 2017.  I have set many goals for myself as I head into college: getting a scholarship to a good academic institution; playing baseball at the collegiate level in a competitive program;  and most importantly, receiving my degree in Psychology and/or Journalism.  Ultimately, it would be an honor to be recognized as an All-Conference or All-American player for my accomplishments in the classroom and on the field.  I consider myself a team player and that, in part, is what makes me a good candidate for any college team. I not only work hard to improve my skills everyday, but I will help motivate those around me to excel and reach their highest potential as well.  My goal is to do whatever it takes to help the team be successful. I will play any position or serve in any role to help the team.  But I hope that I can also make the college experience fun for the entire team while staying focused and committed to our goal of becoming champions. I really love the game of baseball and I hope to never lose my child-like enthusiasm for the game, even as I strive to reach new heights. I also believe that I am different from most recruits because I am not a physical standout, so I know the hard work and effort needed to get to this point and beyond, and still be able to succeed at a very high level.  People have questioned me for my size, but never for my heart or ability. I will bring that drive to succeed to campus and I will earn a spot in the lineup. But I am not choosing a school just for baseball. I am a very well rounded, dedicated student. I have tried to challenge myself in the classroom throughout my academic career by taking AP, GT (Gifted & Talented), and honors courses; and I am currently maintaining a 3.5 GPA. I hope to find a place where I can be a true student athlete and help a team to a championship.
