Gino Martinez '21 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to be the first one in my family to go to college, I've come from a background that my family members usually dropped out and just went to work or they graduate but they don't continue. I've gone through hard times over the years from living behind my aunts house in a tiny room with 4 people to sleeping on a couch for 4 years. See myself sleep on the couch with back pain because it didn't have the support it pushed me to be great than any other person. I don't want to go through that again nor put my future my family into that situation. I'm a hard worker and no one can't tell me otherwise. The reason I train so much is because it's my goal to go far into my athletic career even if it means with everyone trying to pull me down. The main person that has pushed me without saying a word is my mother. I live with my mother and she has worked so hard to keep us under a roof and fed. She works everyday going in at 4 getting out at 4, this is the reason why I work hard as well so I can get my college paid for. I'm someone you can trust, on and off the pitch. I will promise you my hard work, give me chance and I promise you won't regret it.
