Jaxon Osterberg '20 Recruiting Profile

I characterize myself as authentic, driven, committed, and well rounded with a life centered around God and focused on my purpose.  I'm interested in building greater character and life skills through my daily emphasis on education and sports while positively influencing the community in which I daily interact.  I'm learning to lead with my heart in service instead of plundering in selfishness (definitely a work-in-process).  I volunteer to give back for what I have received, including my work through YMSL (Young Men's Service League).

In relation to sports, I've been a team member since age 4 playing baseball, soccer, basketball, and football.  Although accomplished in each one of these sports, I chose baseball as it is what I enjoy the most and fits my skill set the best.  My dad loves to ask me "what is the end game" or, put another way, what do I want to accomplish by continuing baseball at the next level?  I want to elevate my game to the highest level of competition where I can be successful (I believe that to be at least at the college level), which will lead me to a foundation and legacy of confidence, ability to persevere, team skills, and leadership; that foundation and legacy will anchor my future development employing my education in the financial world of accounting and banking.  

Failure along the way is part of the equation, but only to the point of using it as learning and motivation to achieve the success I'm sure to accomplish.
