Isaiah Wilkins '18 Recruiting Profile

My mother has been a great example of setting your goal high and achieving that goal.  I have learned to think big.  As of right now my collegiate goals are to not just play for a Division I team but to be a great player and leader for the team and school.  Plan A is to become a professional soccer player.  Plan B-I want to become a soccer coach for my community club and a psychiatrist.  As a soccer player I work hard.  I always have a soccer ball with me and get 100's of touches a day.  I love the sport, so I get excited about practice, games and working out to get stronger, faster and more agile.  I am considered to be an aggressive player but my upbringing and core values keeps me from loosing my cool and to never play dirty.  I believe in playing as a  team, passing the ball and communication on the pitch.  I am usually the leader on the teams I play for, typically because I love to communicate on and off the pitch and because the other players respect me.  Academically, I am a A/B student.  I have to study hard to make the grades I get but I generally like school and have great teacher/student relationships.  I have been going to the same Christian school since kindergarten and I have not had any behavior issues.   I am a good fit for any college team because I have a great attitude, I am very coachable and I work hard to succeed.  My mother has taught me there is nothing I can't achieve if I know there is always room for improvement, work hard to improve, and put God first.
