Mali'Jae Souder '23 Recruiting Profile

The things that my older brother and I talk about influence me the most.  Such as the talks we have about improving myself, for example our model or saying is simply “get better”.  I’ve became interested in track and field when I was 11 years old with the idea that it would make me a faster runner for football, then I realized over the years, that I really enjoyed it.  Over the years playing sports have helped me to learn how improving my abilities helps me in my education as well as in my physical strength.  I have learned that being athletic makes me very happy and I enjoy seeing what I have accomplished.  My academic goals for the end of high school are to end it with at least at to get a 2.5.  I never let obstacles stop me from being successful and actually obstacles are the reason I am where I am today.  I find ways to improve things and make them better.  I find that I get better through overcoming obstacles and repetition in my practices helps be get better every time.  My unique characteristics that I have is the ability to focus and block everything else out to reach my goals whether I am on the field, building a PC from ground up on my spare time, or in the classroom.  The skills that I possess stems from my 6 years playing football, my 2 years of training in track n field, and my 3 years of weight training, and wrestling experience.  All this collectively gives me the strength, endurance, team spirit, and technical skills needed to be an excellent team member on your team, at your university.
