Craig Gasana '23 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals and aspirations are to first build a strong relationship with not just my coaches and teammates but also with my professors. My goal is to establish my starting spot on my team, and by doing this, I will be representing the school with pride and sportsmanship. What makes me a good candidate for the team is not just my exceptional ability to perform on the pitch but also my character. For a good team to thrive, I personally believe that having good character and discipline is what is most important and vital, which is what I possess. In all the teams I have played for, I have been able to work collaboratively with my teammates, communicate effectively, and show respect to my coaches and teammates. What makes me different from other recruits in character, athletics, and academics is first that I bring a diverse perspective and background to the team, which I certainly feel can enrich the team's culture and boost its performance. I believe that I have the physical and technical skills necessary to compete at the highest level, which comes with my unique repertoire of skills that are combined with my exceptional speed, agility, and strong work ethic, which some may find intriguing due to my length, which sets me apart from other athletes. Another big highlight that makes me different from other recruits is my ability to be flexible and adapt to changing game situations and team dynamics and therefore see the ultimate value of working together as a team and I'm prepared to put the needs of the team above my own. I demonstrate traits such as integrity, honesty, and respect not just on the pitch but in my classrooms and in my daily life which is very essential to take me far. Even though I may not be the best at academics, my dedication, work ethic and commitment proves other wise. I am completely devoted to my academic excellence by hard-work and enhancing my abilities to learn effectively, improve on my personal growth and ultimately continue to get good grades.
