Matteo Polla '20 Recruiting Profile

I am Matteo Polla and I am in the graduating class of 2020 at Sunset High School in Portland, Oregon. I am dedicated to establishing myself as a top junior golfer and know that I have the athletic capability and competitive nature to do so. In 2013 I moved from The Netherlands to Oregon due to my dad's work. This move has given me the opportunity to further my golf career and this is when I decided to fully commit myself to golf and my game has already made significant improvements. I hold nationalities of the Netherlands and Croatia.

Academically, I hold a 3.86 GPA on a 4.0 scale, and am enjoying the challenge of taking IB courses in my junior year of high school. Along with those challenging classes I am also studying hard in preparation for ACT and SAT test.

My plan is to major in Business. I have always been interested in the TV show Shark Tank. It has shown me how people come up with great ideas, make great business plans and follow through with it. When I watch it, it always fascinates me how people present, and story tell their ideas. I learned a lot from the show.

I love helping others with questions they have; because of that, I decided to be involved in the AVID Peer Tutor program at my high school. I also enjoy helping my coach with the kids program at SKOUT golf academy.

When I play golf I enjoy the competitive nature build around the tournaments I play in, the grind to get better every day, and lastly I enjoy meeting up with friends and meeting new friends along the way.
