Anthony Rosales Jr. '18 Recruiting Profile

    I come from an athletic background, and the one who has influenced me the most was my father, who played college football for an amazing school. I knew since the beginning, when my parents had me play four different sports, football was it. Ever since then, football has played a huge role in my life, as well as my transition from a public school to a private school with a great football program and a challenging academic outlook. Due to its rigorous curriculum, stern structure, and heavy scheduling, it has taught me to strive and work harder to become a better student-athlete. My motivation and dedication in wanting to continuously achieve personal growth, and do things right in order to allow pathways for success, is my highest priority.

`    My ultimate goal is to become the best me I can be and I believe I can do that because I continue to work in that mindset. I have learned from my mistakes, and I have truly become part of a team that displays values and guides one another through challenges. Any mistake that presents itself, I do not allow myself to be overwhelmed and frustrated, I do my best to take it as a crossroad, look at it as a process, dust myself off, and practice. I've took it upon myself to increase my stamina and mental ability by adding additional study time, learning better study techniques in order to prevent academic struggle, taking on personal boot-camp training during off-seasons, practicing after training, and keeping up with a gym routine outside of school. From being put on second string, fighting to get first string and achieving that goal, bringing my grades up, and simply putting effort into everything I do, I personally believe I could play a huge part on your team as a defensive lineman.
