Isaac Stene ‘18 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I originally became interested in playing football because it was a very important sport in my family. All of my cousins and my older brother had played or were still currently playing when I hit the age that our school offered it, and it was because those older cousins and siblings were the better players on the team when they played that I decided I needed to put in the work. Over the years I have wanted to give up, wanted to not go work out at 5 in the morning, but every time I feel like that I remember the success they had when they played and I get up and go because I want to be like them. I want to be able to play the sport I love and be successful at it, and I think that is the most important thing I have learned while playing this sport. If you truly love doing something then you will always be willing to put in the work, and I love playing football.

Over the past few years I have come to realize that I can’t play football forever and that is why I plan on getting a degree in Business Management/Construction Management. I feel like I would enjoy working in those fields and will be able to be financially secure with that type of job.
