Jesse Gatto '26 Recruiting Profile

I am a dedicated athlete with a passion for wrestling and my academics.  The trials and tribulations these past few years (losing my older brother to an accident, my mother leaving the country) have prepared me for the wrestler I am today. Wrestling is a central part of my life; so much that I eat, sleep, and breathe wrestling daily.   From the moment I decided to pursue wrestling full time I knew it was not just a sport but a way of life that demands discipline, perseverance, and determination.

My skills have jumped leaps and bounds but I always crave more knowledge and there is always something new to learn. I am willing to do whatever it takes both physically and mentally and already have a dietician and working thru the wrestling mindset program.

What sets me apart as a wrestler is my relentless work ethic and commitment to improvement. I thrive on the challenges that wrestling presents, and I am constantly seeking new ways to refine my techniques and strategies. Whether it's pushing my limits during training sessions or studying footage of past matches to analyze my performance, I approach wrestling with a growth mindset and a drive to excel.

In addition to my dedication to the sport, I am also deeply committed to academic excellence. I understand the importance of balancing athletics with academics, and I am fully prepared to meet the demands of a college education while competing at the highest level in wrestling. I am confident that I can bring the same level of focus, determination, and resilience to my studies as I do to the wrestling mat.

I want to thank you for taking the time to look thru my profile and look forward to meeting and possibly continuing my wrestling journey with you.
