Justin Calicchia '16 Recruiting Profile

The way to fully develop, regardless of your circumstance, is having the ability to focus all your attention on a goal and work on it.  Being placed in a prestigious American university would be the first step into making my dreams a reality.  The professional staff, the immense campus, and various different tools that American colleges supply are of great value. However, nothing can be accomplished as a scholar or as an athlete if the work isn’t put in.  My dream of excelling in soccer and in academics is in my grasp. An American university is the first step into taking my dream to the next level. That next level being to finally be placed in an atmosphere where success is the only option.

Focused, determined, and devoted. Those are the three words that I live and breathe by. My everyday life is based upon the effort I put into everything I do. My 100% is given in everything I do within my day. Whether it be for school, for soccer, or for family all of my focused is put into these situations in order accomplish my strong desire to succeed.  In order to succeed, one must overcome the challenges and obstacles in their path. My resilience has given me the strength to get up even stronger after every single defeat. The difference between other candidates and myself is the willingness to go the extra mile and put the extra effort into every single situation.
