Darryl Badley '17 Recruiting Profile

  As an athlete, I want to strive to make my team and myself the best we can be. Whether it's pushing myself during hard conditioning or lifting up the team after a hard loss, I try to do whatever I can to help my team the most. When it comes to practice, I believe that is a time to go your hardest because the time you get to have on the field won't last forever, and you should make the best of the time you do have. Personally, I differ from most athletes on the field because I am not trying to just play to make a highlight tape afterwards, but I am putting all I've got on the field every play in order to do what I have to do to win.

  Off the field, I try to bring these same morals to the classroom by helping others who don't understand the work. In terms of goals, I wish to try to change the world before I reach 25. I am currently writing a fictional book and researching a system of electricity invented by Nikola Tesla, so that in the future, I could maybe replicate his tower. Along with our modern technology, mass produce these "power" towers so that the whole world might have clean, wireless, and, theoretically, infinite electricity. 

   To me, I believe that people should strive to be the best in all the areas that they can be the best in. Whether it be athletics, academics, family life, social life, etc. You should your best to be the best.
