Jake Fishbaugher '23 Recruiting Profile

I realized at a very young age that golf would be a major part of my life. I got my first clubs when I was only 3, year old.  I have been golfing with my family and friends ever since.  This life long love of the game has made me realize that my  goals have included the desire to play golf at the collegiate level.   I think I would be a great candidate for any team.  I think what really sticks out about me is leadership skills and my coach ability.  I have always thought that you have to be uncomfortable in situations to get better in most things, especially golf. I was voted Captain of my golf team in 2019 and 2021. I got put up to the challenge of leading this very young team and trying to play the best golf we possible could and I loved that feeling of leadership. I was also selected to be a football captain in 2021 as a junior, which at my school is rare. Being a quality leader in football is so important because so many guys make mistakes, and that's gonna happen but the only thing that matters is how you respond to those mistakes. I think you can learn a word from a win/success, and you can learn a book from a loss/fail.  

I take my academics very seriously and will always do that little extra thing if it will help me out in anyway in the classroom. I think your education is very important because you can make it as fun and get as much out of it as you want. I take pride in my education and mantianing a strong GPA.
