Maiko Sanchez '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Maiko Sanchez and I have been playing football since I was 4 years old. Many athletes have played since a young age but football is truly a huge part of my life. I have learned a lot through experiences from the coaches I have had through the years, struggles in games and practices, and just learning how to be the best teammate I can. I use what I have learned from football every day of my life. 

I focus on tenacity and playing with an edge during games but off the field I am a quieter person. In school I am part of an events committee that plans and puts on events for my school. I have been emerging as a leader in this group as I come up with ideas and even lead smaller groups in set up. I am also part of our schools rhythm and poetry group.  I enjoy writing and music, they are an outlet and really help me re-focus when it comes to football.
