Derrick Sanchez '25 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing football since I was 5 yrs. old. Football has been most of my life. It started off as a hobby, just something to do in my free time. Before I knew it, I was talking football and dreaming football. I even dreamed of one day playing college football.  Now that I'm about to be a junior in high school I realize that that dream is not too far away.  I'm currently a sophomore playing in varsity. I was invited by the varsity coach to move up because of my leadership and dedication.  I consider myself an all-around athlete. On my off season from football, I keep busy by playing basketball, this keeps me in shape and also motivates me to keep working on myself. I'm also a sophomore playing in varsity for basketball. I am currently doing weight room 5 days a week. I am committed and dedicated to what I do. I believe that in order to be an exceptional football player you have to stay committed and have discipline. I truly believe in the phrase "practice beats talent". My goal is to fulfill a career in the medical field. I plan to get a degree in sports medicine. My commitment is truly one of a kind. I believe that I would be a great addition to any team because I believe that I have a natural passion for football and I'm also self-motivated. I am driven to always better myself and to succeed. I believe that a good football team means teamwork, vitality and requires everyone to work together for the same purpose.
