Sonny Otim '16 Recruiting Profile

I aspire to excel both as a sportsman, to improve on my game possibly take it to another level even professional. I want to achieve both academic and sports success. I am from Africa, such opportunities are not available for a player like me. According to me, I am definitely a hard worker, skilled, disciplined,driven, self motivated to make it to a higher level and I'm not afraid of failure. I possess such qualities that in my opinion make me a good candidate but under the right coach I can definitely succeed, plus I put the team first before myself.

As far as my character is concerned, I'm disciplined, being from a third world country, I am driven to make it in life, desperate to improve on my character and also believe In the concept of student-athlete, being a good student first then great athlete. I am in the process of trying out for track and field, basketball plus other sports because I believe one sport can easily improve on another sport in terms of skills.

im driven to put academics at a high note,I'm thirsty to learn, obtain knowledge and make sure I excel in my academics. In Toronto Canada it's a different system. My grades are based on credits so to graduate 30 credits are required. I am able to balance my studies with the sport I love.

ill be grateful if I'm put under consideration.
