Martin Alfaro '16 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'8 165lb Kicker/Punter at Lompoc HighSchool. I expect to receive my Diploma as part of the 2016 Graduating class. I always loved sports as a child and finally got the chance to actually play them when my family was more financially stable and could fund for me to play. I started playing sports at the age of 12 when i was in 7th grade. My first sport ever playing was soccer even though as a young boy I always wanted to play American Football. Soon Coaches, my family, and I figured out i was pretty good at soccer as later on i was picked up for the All Stars B team. Later into that season i was bumped up to the All Stars A team as we soon went off to win State. I continued playing Soccer for the next two years and ever since then I played All Stars until i hit HighSchool and then i found out my Freshman year the Freshman football team needed a kicker/punter. Sadly i did not play that year as my family did not quite have the financial state again. Last year I did not let anything stop me and ended up playing Football for my Junior Varsity Football team as my first official football season.

Since my Sophomore Year as a Specialists I have worked with Chris Sailer Kicking for almost a year, where I have been trained and evaluated by his current and former Collegiate/Pro staff. Due too my high tolerance for high pressure situations my passion only keeps growing stronger for the game. I deeply plan on pursuing too play at the collegiate level as I believe I can perform against other top Specialists as long as I keep putting the time and dedication into being a perfectionist at my craft. Playing College football would be an extremely rewarding and will bring a higher level of competition on and off the field.

A College Education and a College football program can become huge factors in shaping my life. Performing tasks like maintaining high grades, playing football, learning off my mistakes, and staying healthy require a huge amount of responsibility and dedication. College would offer me the ability to stay organized, to remain focused on my aspirations and life goals. The preparation I receive on and off the football field are skills that are needed to become successful in life and are needed to succeed.
