Nicholas Rulevish '21 Recruiting Profile

When I am on the field, I am a level headed player.  I always tell myself not to get too high and don't get too low.  I have good emotional skills.  I stay calm even if something doesn't go my way.  I don't like to celebrate until the last out of the game.  I am one of the most competitive players in the world.  Many of my friends and family members will agree with that statement.  If I am hanging out with my friends and we decide to have a cornhole tournament, I will try my hardest to win and may even start up a little trash talk.  However, if I lose I will accept defeat and tip my cap to my opponent. 

I take academics very seriously.  I strive to try my best every day and succeed in everything I do.  I am hard on myself, but I see this as a positive quality.  I will not stop doing something until I achieve it.  I am the kid in class who asks the teacher for one more example or one more question just to make sure I understand what I am learning.  

I would add some positivity to a dugout and just an overall better vibe throughout.  I look forward to going out on the field every single day.  Even if it is below freezing outside.  I have drug out my friends outside to field groundballs before in 30-degree weather.  I love the game and always enjoy the people I surround myself with in this sport.  I expect nothing in that aspect to change in college.
