Collin Strasburger '18 Recruiting Profile

As a person, my main priority in life is my family, and with a good family atmosphere, not only will it bring everyone close, but help the performance of the team excel. I plan to become and special education teacher, as my whole life I have struggled with tourettes, ADHD, dyslexia  and I feel like I have the patience and the drive to help kids with my same problems. Outside of my academic aspirations, my dream ever since I was younger, was to follow in my grandfather's footsteps and become a college track and field athlete. While my grandfather's college career as a pole vaulter was cut short do to being drafted into the army, he dreamt that one of his sons or grandchildren were to compete at a college level, and I have worked tirelessly throughout the past 3 years to make mine and his dream a reality.  As a freshman I stood at 5'11 and 120 lbs. I worked tirelessly to put on 35lbs over the past 2 years, to make myself fast and stronger and be able to run quicker and with the endurance to finish the race. Now i stand at 6'0 155, with a final goal of reaching 165 for college. I hope this shows you a little about who I am and convinces you that I belong on your team, and will give my all day in and out. 

Thank you, Collin Strasburger
