Samuel Hawkins '19 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals start first and foremost in the classroom. I have dedicated the past seven years to a strenuous STEM program, and look forward to attending a college with strong engineering and/or business and sports management programs. On the pitch, I plan on being an integral part of the team, and will strive for success for both myself and my teammates. I truly believe the statement that you are only as good as your weakest link, which is why I will go above and beyond in order to improve my skills. Some of my best assets are my ability to control possession, set up my teammates with strong passes, and shoot with accuracy.  As I grow both mentally and physically throughout my college career, I will strive to improve upon these skills learning from both the coaching staff and my teammates. 

I am a current member of the National Honor Society, an Honor Roll Scholar, and an FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) member. Not only do I strive to be a good teammate on the field, but I also strive to be a good role model for my fellow classmates as well as younger siblings and student athletes. When not playing soccer myself, I am a certified referee, and also run private training sessions with both girls and boys youth soccer players.

I look forward to this next step in my soccer career and will conduct myself with honor and respect for both myself and my teammates with the knowledge that my behavior is also a reflection of not only the team and coaching staff, but the school I attend as well.
