Alec Hartert '16 Recruiting Profile

 My goal is to play college football and be the best athlete and student possible. I have dreamt of playing college sports since I was four years old and I  have dedicated my life to improving my game physically, mentally, and emotionally.  Learning from the highs and lows of sports, and life in general, I have become very humble and thankful for my own capabilities and accomplishments, along with those of my teammates.  I am not a selfish player.  I am highly self-motivated, determined, and dedicated, on the field and off the field.  I go to the gym daily, pushing myself, trying to keep my game one step ahead of the competition.  My teammates are my second family, so I will do anything to assist them.  When I make a mistake, I don't let it control my moral; I pick myself up, physically and emotionally, and learn from the experience.  I strive to be the most dominate, explosive, and self-disciplined player I can be.  Academically, I always work to my best ability.  If I am struggling in a class, I will reach out for assistance.  If I am excelling in a class, I will offer assistance.  I don't ever allow myself to think of something as "too hard" or "impossible", instead it just makes me work harder, at whatever the task may be.  I am a self-proclaimed perfectionist, so I strive for excellence in everything I do.
