Robert Gaertig '15 Recruiting Profile

I am Bobby Gaertig.  I have just completed my final high school season, and I met every goal that I set for myself.  My team took 1st place at State where as an outside mid, I scored both goals in our 2-0 victory against a team that had not allowed a goal throughout the playoffs.  Because of my performance I was named Wisconsin Athlete of the Week on wissports.net.  I received State recognition on the Best of The Rest list of midfielders, which names the top players in the State.  I have been a defender my whole life, until this season when my coach asked me to play outside mid.  I rose to the challenge, I led my team in goals, and I was named Conference Offensive Player of the Year (after being Defensive Player of the Year last season).  I think this shows that I am an all-around player.  I was also named All-County Player of the Year.   As a captain, I was a leader and a big part of the reason that my team succeeded.  I work as hard as I can at every practice, and a teammate gave this quote:  "Bobby elevates the game of everyone around him."  I am looking forward to my club soccer season, I have high expectations for this team too.  I attend a rigorous college-prep high school, which is preparing me for the academic demands of college.  I work on my soccer skills every day and I know I have what it takes to play at the next level.  I can't imagine my life without the sport.
