Triston Hill '21 Recruiting Profile

Starting on my high-school varsity team as a freshman was an honor, that I took very serious, as it made me want to prove myself not only to the upper class-man, but also to the parents and family members that supported our team, every game. Being selected as the MVP by my teammates and coaches, my sophomore year, was a huge accolade, with mixed emotions on my end as several players deserved this honor, in my opinion. Currently, as a junior, I was selected as captain, this was again a vote by my teammates and coaches, that I don't take lightly, and it pushes me not only on the pitch, but in the classroom as well. I continue daily in working on my all around game, to be the best player on the pitch, and take on whatever role necessary, for my team to be successful. Playing club soccer for Dallas Texans 03' and Azzurri 03' classic league D-1 teams has pushed me in my training and grades, I traveled 3 hours to practice and games, so I had to ensure my academics always came first, with this huge commitment.  My desire is to play at the collegiate level and receive the best education, to succeed, and be well-rounded as I eventually begin my professional life, is my #1 priority. Soccer has always given me the desire to push myself to my limits and beyond. Taking responsibility with my daily activities, making the right decisions, managing my academics, respecting my teachers and coaches, and applying myself 100% to my goals inside the classroom and on the pitch are a few lessons I've learned from soccer. I pay close attention to my diet and fitness levels, my mile and 2-mile times have lowered dramatically, and my 40yd dash time is currently 4.47.  Given the opportunity at your university, I will continue to push myself, both academically and athletically, being a leader on your team, my attitude, character, work-ethic and athletic talent would give me the opportunity to contribute to your program immediately, forming new relationships with teammates, coaches, and professors.
