Wyatt Gerstenslager '26 Recruiting Profile

 I began playing this life-changing game when I was just two years old.  Soccer has far surpassed all other sports I have played and remains my favorite sport. I have two brothers. They have helped forge me into an extremely competitive person.  I continually strive to elevate my skill set and those around me. I have learned to always work hard especially through trying times.  With the combination of my work ethic and competitive drive, I believe I will be a great fit on your team.   

As a freshman, I made the Junior Varsity team.  I made varsity sophomore and junior year (this year) where we qualified for open division playoffs .  On top of playing high school and club soccer, I am also a track and cross-country runner.  However, winning Flight One Academy in California South last year has been the highlight of my soccer career.  

To get to where I am today, I had to overcome one fault to my game.  I was fairly quiet on the field and I decided I did not want to be that kind of player.  I began to speak up even more at practice and in games and through my practice of communication, I was voted captain by my team three years in a row. 

I am looking for a program that will be an equilibrium of athletics and academics.  Playing college soccer will give me lifelong social and leadership skills.  Obtaining a higher education from a respected academic institution is important to me. The combination of skills learned through sports and strong academics will allow me to be a well-rounded, contributing member of the work force.
