Richard Schuessler '23 Recruiting Profile

Hey, I'm Charlie Schuessler. I've been an athlete my entire life, but this is my first year of track.  I threw the discus 29m in February, hit 39min in April, and then threw 46.05m to take second place in the 1a State Championship in May.  This summer I will attend a throws camp and train for Junior Olympics. Besides track, I play left tackle and defensive end for football and enjoy weightlifting. I weigh 192 and bench 255. Outside of sports, I have a 4.0 at school, spend a lot of time with my family and 5 siblings, and volunteer at church. 

Why do I make a good recruit? 

1. First, I work hard. During the season I came home from track practice and threw for several hours in my backyard, watched videos, and practiced my spin on my deck.  
2. Secondly, I'm teachable. This is all so new to me, so I've tried to learn from my coach, my teammates and watch the other throwers at meets. I got feedback from a well-known coach via video and I've tried to implement his corrections. 
3. Finally, I'm a good teammate. I love watching my friends do well at meets. We cheer each other on, and even the guys from other teams. I love the camaraderie of the sport.
