samuel karim '14 Recruiting Profile

Im a sophmore at ridgewood high school as of 2012. I was introduceed to wrestling my freshman year of high and I fell in love with it the first day.wrestling kind of came natural but at the same time I did work extremely hard to be where I am. to sum up my wrestling style in a few sentences, my style on the feet is laid back an very technical and aggressive whenever im in the front headlock offense.im strong on top and its never out of my character to inflict some pain in the process. my bottom position is average im planning on incorporating a lot of bottom defense and work on getting off the bottom.after coming off a pretty successful freshman year I decided to make the drop to the same weight i was last year and had a difficult time because of it being my first time cutting hard and i didnt wrestle alot of matches but i did end up quilfying for state which was a great expierience and one that im definitely looking forward to next year. im very content on going out of state to college for the expierience of going away for college an ive narrowed my major down to phychology because my interest on how the brain works. my freshman year i slacked off a bit with grades and I do know grades are important thats why ive been making them a pretty big priority lately and continue to do so. even though i am young i considered myself a leader on our team as far as motivating guys when they needed it or when they were down on themselves and i plan to continue this the following years in high school and in college as well. As far as athletic goals in college i definitely want to start and be apart of a national championships team whether it be NAIA or NCAA school.
