Anthony Navarro-Barquero '23 Recruiting Profile

I first started wrestling in freshman year of high school, and at first i did not even know about the sport. but ever since i was introduces i fell in love with not only the sport but the environment that comes with it as well. playing this sport made me tap into a part of me that was never really being exercised and made me find out what i truly am at that moment and what i wanted to be. wrestling for my high school helped me see that even though it may be an individual sport but everyone in that wrestling room goes through the same thing and that creates a connection that is shared throughout every wrestler in the school.

in college i mostly want to wrestle but just in case that does not work out i want to be an entrepreneur of my own business one day but just like wrestling i understand that both take a lot of time and commitment. There is always a point in our lives that we feel stuck or that we just are not improving, but listening to my coaches and trusting the process helped me not only athletically but mentally and academically as well. I feel like i would be a great part for your wrestling program because i know i have a passion of the sport and knowing that i wrestled for 4 years i feel like ive shown myself that i have the grit and determination to go wherever i want in to go in life as long as i put in the work.
