Zachary Ramsdell '20 Recruiting Profile

As a Student Athlete for every year of my High School Career, my largest goal has always been to be the best I could be, and make it to the big stages no matter what it takes. Although I had never had a motivation to do well Academically in High School, I came to a better late then never realization that I want to go to College. I am working very hard this year to maintain better grades then I have ever had. 

Through my Athletic career I have faced a large difficulty in where I stand as an athlete. I had played my entire life as an outfield, Right Back, and or Center back. During my Sophomore year of High School I had to make a large decision to play Goalkeeper as we did not have a primary set Keeper. My first day in training I felt great, and it was an amazing experience and I quickly fell in love with the Position. Being the person I am, where everything I find myself to love, I have to be good if not great at, I found myself studying the position, training for hours longer than my teammates and out-working my opponents. I spent upwards of 4 hours a day total working on Studying game footage of Professionals, being in the gym, or on the field, learning the ins and outs.

During my Junior Year I took over as the starting Varsity Goalkeeper over the player who had never missed a Minute of game of all 4 years of his Career. I am now a Captain of the Varsity Team and I currently have 5 shutouts in my season. I'm different because I found what I loved, and I worked for it, and I'm still working just as hard. And now I'm working on my Academics at the same time.
