Giancarlo Orlandi '20 Recruiting Profile

My goals are to bring my team together and play with heart.  I try to excel and learn from each game and form a bond with my teammates to play together and in unity.  I strive to be a leader both on the field and off the field and to always set a good example.  I try very hard to keep my emotions under control at all times and to focus on the task at hand which is winning.  This year our team is smaller than normal so it will be more of a challenge but one that we can still excel and that I am willing to take on.  I like facing a challenge and try not to have to many obstacles bother me.  I feel that I am a good team player and leader.  

I also try to excel in the classroom and my everyday life.  I try to be kind to all people I am in contact with and most of my coaches find me very amenable and easy to coach.  I believe in keeping calm and keeping a good character at all times.  I am against conflict.

Although football is my main sport preference, I do also play varsity baseball and basketball and referee soccer games for youth soccer.  I try my best to be a good example to the youth athletes around me and teach them to also play with heart and not with anger.  I feel that a college coach will be happy with his choice to  have me on their team to help better the nature of the team and to lead them in a positive manner.   I would love to play college football but also excel in my academics so that when I graduate I can follow through with a good career of my choice but also know that I played the game I love as to my best ability and with all my heart.
