Joaquin Vanderhorst '21 Recruiting Profile

I plan on playing college football with a full scholarship. I have been on the honor roll since middle school because I understand how important it is to get my work done. My parents have never had to force me to do homework or study because I encourage myself by remembering that I want to play college football and I have to show people that I am serious.

While all of my teammates are sleeping at 4 AM in the morning, I go to 3 different gyms to get stronger and faster and better than them. I work out for no less than an hour and I train hard. I do this Monday through Friday and I see the results of all of my hard work. Sometimes it is hard to get up that early, but my goals keep me focused because I understand that if it were easy, everyone would be doing it and this sets me apart. My coach has seen my progress and even changes the team workouts sometimes to avoid overworking body parts I worked on that day- that's how serious my physical development has been.

I believe he does this because he knows that when I am on that field, I do my job and I work hard. If he needs me to fill in for some other position, I never hesitate, I never argue and I do what I am told. I understand that he know his plan of action and my job is to line up with his vision.

This will NEVER change because this is WHO I AM.
