Eric Workman '20 Recruiting Profile

    When I was 8 years old, I arrived at my present team awaiting my try-out. Before jumping in the water, the coach listed off the various levels on the team of 500 athletes. As I listened, I looked at my mother, who was patiently waiting with me, and I told her I would make it to the top. About 7 years later, I achieved this goal. Many coaches on this team have inspired me to reach new limits and continue to improve. This sport has also become a passion that I have not been willing to let go.

    Swim, through hours of practice, struggles, and sacrifices, has forced me to persevere and not give in. This work ethic has allowed me to balance over 90% in workout attendance along with over 90% in all of my classes at school. I plan on bringing this drive with me to whatever university I attend in both academic and athletic areas. I am looking for a school with a positive atmosphere that helps me to grow not only as a student-athlete, but as a person as well.
