Tej Parikh '24 Recruiting Profile

From the earliest years, sports have been a huge part of my life. As a child, I only played soccer for fun yet the fun quickly turned into immense passion. Soon, my daily routine became --- gym sessions at 5 AM, school at 8 AM, individual training at 3 PM, and team training at 5 PM. At one point, I became so addicted to the process that all I thought about was soccer. Alongside this intense commitment, I was able to succeed academically, and recognize the important role it plays in life. Throughout my journey, I have learned to give equal respect to fellow teammates, coaches, parents and most importantly God for giving me this opportunity. A strong foundation of self discipline, work ethic and determination on and off the field is how I describe myself as a person.
