D’Shaun Hammitt '26 Recruiting Profile

I want to make something of myself, no matter how hard I might have to work for it. I know it will be worth it in the long run. I am not afraid of "working too hard" so long as it obviously won't injure me, and if so, I’ll heal and work my way back into it. I see that a lot of people my age and around me sometimes dislike practicing every day simply because of soreness, but that is not an obstacle for me. I communicate often with the people who try to help me (i.e. coaches, recruiters, or any peers) so I can be the best player I can, in the shortest amount of time, since I started a little late on the sport. Nonetheless of this factor I practice effectively at least 20 hours a week, 30 hours even on good weeks. I am not opposed to constructive criticism as some people are, simply because of their pride. I see it as an opportunity I can use to further benefit my team and implement these bits of advice into my play, no matter how much I have to practice these crucial things to get them down. As of now I have some things to improve on in the next years, but I am not worried about the difficulty, I am ecstatic for the improvement. Every single day I improve, in every aspect. Not only do I want to, I need to. I am ready to embrace the progression I’m meant to gain in this sport. All I ask of you, coaches, is to give me a chance. My dream is to win the highest achievements soccer has to offer, and a dream without action stays a dream. I am 100% committed to acting on that dream, that impulse. My ambition does not burn out.
