Gaige Pilot '21 Recruiting Profile

Natural leader, competitor, calm under pressure and willing to put in the work is just a few ways I would describe myself.  

Leader; I have always led by example. I am motivated by doing the right thing not the easy thing.  I tend to lead in silence, by constantly being a good example, working hard and only speaking up when needed. 

Competitor; I am not only competitive on the course, but also off the course.  I give 100% in everything I do, always pushing myself to be the best and working toward goals.

Calm Under Pressure; I show little emotion when things don't go my way.  I know how to look forward and focus on the next step trying to improve my overall outcome. I learned early that mistakes actually empower us to learn and improve. 

Hard Work; I am a multi-sport athlete and have always been drawn to sports where you have to work hard in practice and in your spare time to show even the slightest improvements.  I am coachable and willing to make any changes or adjustments needed. I am willing to do whatever it takes to improve and be successful at the next level. 

My goal is to play golf at the next level.  I will be a positive influence on your team and will do anything needed to be a necessary asset to your team.  Please see my High School coaches comments regarding my
