Tariq Guidry '20 Recruiting Profile

Since COVID began to spread in March 2020 in the U.S., it has been both a challenge and a blessing for me. Fortunately, for me I have always been able to change and adapt whether it is by choice or because (as with COVID), there was no other choice. As an aspiring entrepreneur, I understand the importance of accepting challenges and setbacks as opportunities to grow and reflect. Although I would love to be able to train and compete with others in soccer and to take part in college life on campus, as a resident of Los Angeles County, I have stayed vigilant and careful throughout the quarantine. Rather than be frustrated, I have used the quarantine as a time to further improve my soccer skills through many hours of strength training and skills work. Also, during quarantine, I have focused on working towards laying the foundation for two of my business ideas.
