Carter Olson '20 Recruiting Profile

My first collegiate goal would be to get a degree in Law Enforcement and to play D1 college baseball. I always put the team before myself and I’d rather do what’s best for the team in any occasion, even if that means I have to sit on the bench for a game.  I’m driven to do the best I can and always work hard. What makes me different is I was raised in a family where I had two great role models as parents. My dad is a state trooper and Air Forceman and my mom is an Educator Administrator. They taught me to work hard and do my best if I want something. I need to have a self-drive to get to where I want to be. I think it’s important to cross-train so I can continue to build my body to be the best it can be. For academics, I admit that I haven’t been putting as much effort into academics because I’ve been so focused on sports, but I’ve made it a self-goal to focus more on academics my two years of high school. One of my coaches taught me what the real definition of a team means and every game he would say “TEAM, Together-Everyone-Achieves-More” and that made a big impact on how I play. I play for my team and my family, not just for myself. I love baseball, it is my favorite thing to do. If I'm not doing schoolwork I'm at the field working on stuff so i can become a better athlete
