Ethan Russell '26 Recruiting Profile

I'm not sure about all of my goals quite yet since I'm only 14 years old. However, I'd really love to study marine biology or sports medicine at a 4 year college. Most of all, I'd love the experience to play soccer or basketball at a 4 year college. I'm an athlete, I have played soccer and basketball almost my entire life. I excel as a point guard in basketball. I wish some organizations I've played in counted the number of assists along with points because I have learned to read the court and set up my teammates in ways that has brought home wins for us. I've also been a goalkeeper for about 4 years now, and it has taught me so much already. I have become a leader on the field for my team. I've learned the strengths of my teammates and build them up any chance I get. But, my biggest growth these past 2 years is learning to trust my teammates. We have grown so much and work so well together. Being a goalkeeper has also made me a great defender on the basketball court as well. I have learned how to read my opponents and have gotten very good at anticipating their next combo. I have a very competitive drive and work hard every day to achieve new goals and strengthen old goals. I'm an athlete, and always will be, sports are my passion.
