Ryan Berasi '20 Recruiting Profile

I am the first one in the locker room and the last to leave the field. I manage teammates when their heads are hot, but get them fired up if there is a lack of energy.  I live by the motto “hard work and dedication” on and off the field, as well as hold all of my teammates accountable to do the same. Ever since the first time I buckled my chinstrap, I have held myself to a different standard, to be the best I can. I have stepped up as leader on every team that I have been a part of, because I do not have a hard time making  decisions. Teammates follow my lead and often come to me with questions or problems they are having, because I am a reliable, trustworthy person. I am relied on by fans, teammates, and coaches to do my job. I take pride that I can deliver on the field and in the classroom. If there's a problem during the games I am often looked to to handle the situation responsibly. Beyond being a leader and a reliable teammate, I am a versatile athlete who can adapt to any circumstances or position and still perform at a high quality from whistle to whistle. I have experienced many different points of view, because I have been a fan, a referee, a coach, and most importantly a player. Each role has shaped me into the athlete I am today.  I am a student of the game and learn as much as I can from every angle.
