Michael Parnell '19 Recruiting Profile

I have been wrestling since I was a freshman in high school. After I saw what exemplary thing I have accomplished when I put in a lot of time and work into this sport. I have grown a burning passion to try to take my passion to the collegiate level. Not only will I know it will be a fortuitous opportunity for me, but I will see how far my passion and diligence in this sport will get me. 

I possess a very quick low-level attack, with funky hips with leg riding and a punishing bar-arm series. I also possess a mindset to get away from the bottom position, chaining together as many moves as possible to earn my escape. Along with working out 2 times a day, I wrestle with the mindset to get .5% better each practice. I focus on attending as many off-season tournaments, wrestling camps, and off-season practices as possible before and after the season begins and ends. Quite possibly the hardest working high school wrestler/recruit you will find. 

Off the mat, I volunteer at my taekwondo studio to teach the martial art for hours every week. In school, I am a benevolent/hard-working student to keep my grades at a stellar level to be able to attend a college so that I may be able to have exemplary success both on and off the mat. I hope to emulate something great and prosper at life and wrestling.
