Travis Pickering '15 Recruiting Profile

Being very competitive, I hold my values & goals very high. I do this so I push myself to the limit to extend my skills & abilities further.  I push my body to the limit so I can reach my personal goals and dreams, I work out on a daily basis during the school year & threw out the summer. I don't take days off, a day off is a day lost.  I have always dreamed of playing college football, but I knew  I needed to transform my body into a machine with strength & endurance to make a name for myself through the sport I love the most, FOOTBALL.. Regardless of the level I know I will give my best & then some more. I prefer to go as high as I can go to reach my goals. Every time I enter the weight room, every time I walk through the locker room doors, every time I go through the gates to touch the green grass of the field to play the greatest sport, I give my ultimate best & continue to strive for more from my body & mind to make it to the next level, I have proven my drive by capturing 8 school records with 7 in football and 1 in baseball.  Although football is my dream my goals in life aren't just about football. Academics needs to be first in my mind because that is the way I was raised, my parents have taught and showed me where an education can make the difference. a great education is what truly gets you through life. So I give the same thought process for my outlook & performance in my academics. I am proud to say that I have reached straight A's with my dedication to my academics. I am proud to say I have broken every school record possible for the positions that I play in football at my high school. I know that on any level, I will give the same performance & I will give the best effort possible to succeed in the classroom and the field & do what it takes to break more records as I continue my journey in life, for I must reach my goals. I know that the records that have my name on them are only possible because of my teammates. I PROMISE to give any organization the same level of dedication as I have my high school & along with my teammate we can break more records.
