Patrick Hartup '20 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was little I have imagined myself becoming a professional soccer player.  While only a small percent of athletes make the pros, I still believe I can go on and play in college and work hard to get to that level. My work ethic has always been better than others and my focus is always there because of my commitment and positive attitude. There are times to joke around and have fun but when there needs to be focus, my focus is always there and I am going to give it my all for my coaches and my teammates. I consider myself one of the most well rounded people there is.  My academics exceed the average person and I'm always ready to learn something new. My character and personality are well rounded. My leadership is what shows the most as I have led my teams as a co-captain of the junior varsity and now co-captain of the varsity team. I am going to always be there for my friends and teammates and will always keep a positive attitude even when things are not going the direction in which I want.  Coaches and teammates have always said I have a natural athletic ability and athletics, especially soccer, have always been my life. While being a three sport varsity athlete in high school, my soccer abilities stand out the most. I am always working on something to make myself better and become the best athlete I can be.  I believe that my desire and commitment to the sport of soccer is greater than most other athletes which separates me from the rest of the pack.
