Travis Menchaca '23 Recruiting Profile

   Hello my name is Travis Lee Menchaca II. I'm currently junior at La Feria High School. This is an exciting new chapter in my life in which I’m a leader on the field and in the classroom.  I‘ve also competed in powerlifting which this will be my 3rd year. Last year I was a regional qualifier and am looking forward to state and nationals this year.

    When we moved to La Feria,  I had to work harder compared to the rest of the team in order to earn my starting positions on A team and prove to the team and coaches that I have what it takes to lead, push my team to strive better, adapt to a new school, and learn new plays. In order to earn my spots I worked out during the summer six days a week, went to training camps, and started footwork training. My goals for high school are to pass all my A.P. classes with a ninety or above, and graduate high school with an associate’s degree or certification. My goals for college are to have a starting position on the team, and graduate with a bachelor’s degree. I'm a great candidate for your team because I will put extra time in to improve myself, I am coach-able, and hold myself and my team accountable for our actions. What makes me different compared to most athletes is that I continue to push myself and move forward no matter what obstacles come my way, if I fail I don’t see it as a loss but as a learning experience to improve, and I’m always willing to learn.
