Younes Karam '23 Recruiting Profile

Since I began playing football in my adolescent years, sports have always played a significant role in my life. I have played at various levels, from playing school football to competing for my league in La Liga, Under 21 HPC select. I like that sport is incredibly demanding and rigorous and requires a lot of devotion and continuous effort to succeed. Learning new skills from sports still feels emphatic. Football is more than merely a game; it instills values in its participants that linger with them long after they have hung up their cleats—teamwork, self-control, tenacity, goal-setting, dealing with success and failure, and time management. 

Adversity is a necessity for success. Everybody experiences ups and downs in life and nothing in the world is ideal. The real challenge starts when adversities start to happen in life at some time. Some rise up and put forth everything in their power to resist the challenge. Others, on the other hand, would retreat within their shells while pleading for forgiveness. There ought to be no justification for quitting or not making an attempt. Only those with a strong mental attitude can prevail in the face of hardship.
