David Riggs '16 Recruiting Profile

My college goals are to be the best I can possibly be and reach my full potential. I believe I am a good fit for any team because I will work hard and force myself to be the best. Furthermore, I will force my teammates to be the best each and every day by competing hard in every practice. Throughout moving to three different high schools in one year, I feel that my character has become much better than many other recruits because moving has taught me many things, some of which are perseverance, patience, and understanding, all of which are important qualities in the game of soccer.

I have spent much of my off-time working out and training in order to have an edge against other athletes in high school. I believe that I have achieved results from this as this year I played with a struggling soccer team and still had a very good season. I also received several invites to all star games which I feel is directly correlated to the amount of work I have put in to soccer. Through the last two years on my club team, we have been extremely successful by going 10-2 and winning our league. 

Overall, on and off the field I work extremely hard in everything, whether its studying for a test the next day, or pushing my teammates and friends to be the best they can possibly be.
