Malik Brand '21 Recruiting Profile

As soon as I found the perfect event for me which is hurtling i have been doing nothing but practicing on that even working on form and cutting down my times every race. I put in the hard work because when I'm on the track I have to have the mindset that I can do better than what I'm doing now. when our track season got canceled every day I didn't have work I've been doing sprint workouts, I run 2 miles, and I been doing the daily workouts sent to my team by our coach. the thing that makes me different from other recruits is that for me I like to inspire people to do better and I like to make people feel like they belong on the track when they feel they aren't doing their best. I like to work with my hurdle team and make sure we're giving our full 100% during practice, because if we give our full 100% then we will be ready for that week's meet. I like to treat my team with nothing but respect always building them up and not tearing them down because I feel your mindset affects your race so if you provide yourself and your team with an "I'm going to win mindset" then I feel they try their best. And I put schoolwork first because some nights I'm up after 12 making sure that I ave all my school work done because I want to make sure my grades are good so I can continue track and so I can go to the college I want.As soon as I found the perfect event for me which is hurtling i have been doing nothing but practicing on that even working on form and cutting down my times every race.
