David Velasquez Nieto '27 Recruiting Profile

I am a dedicated and passionate athlete with a deep love for golf and soccer. Having played golf since the age of 2, I have developed exceptional skills and a strong work ethic in the sport. Soccer has also been a significant part of my athletic journey, teaching me teamwork, adaptability, and a competitive spirit. Alongside my athletic pursuits, I maintain a strong academic record and possess fluency in German,Spanish and English.

My current priority is to excel academically in high school, achieving outstanding grades and earning dual high school diplomas in Switzerland (Matura) and Colombia. I am committed to balancing my academic pursuits with my athletic training, demonstrating my ability to manage time effectively and perform at a high level in both areas.

Another of the key aspects that sets me apart is my discipline and commitment to daily workouts. I prioritize my physical training by waking up early at 4:30 am, three to four times a week, to train with my personal coach. This rigorous routine showcases my dedication, self-motivation, and willingness to go the extra mile to improve my performance. I firmly believe that consistency and hard work are crucial in achieving success, both on and off the field. 

With my dedication, skills, and leadership qualities, I am eager to contribute to the success of any collegiate team.
