Nathaniel Crosson '22 Recruiting Profile

I swam in summer REC leagues in elementary school. However, I began swimming year round in my freshmen year of high school. Now in my 3rd year of Varsity swim, I have developed a burning love and passion for this sport and big goals that keep me driven. Adding Club Swim has allowed to keep me improving and learning. I like to work hard and enjoy criticism as I know there is always room to improve. I am one of the hardest workers you will ever meet and I feel that is best proven in action and not words. It has been a privilege to serve as captain of the varsity swim team because I enjoy leading and encouraging people to be their best. My family and friends get frustrated sometimes because I do not waiver from my work out schedule at all or join in on the birthday cake. But I feel my sacrifices are worth my goal to swim in college. My parents attended community college when they were married but my dad had the dream of competing in college football. He has shared his regret for not taking advantage of opportunities that were offered to him. I don’t want that to be me. My mom is now finishing her Master’s degree in her 40’s. Learning from my parent’s past, I know that I want to do my very best  with my college opportunities. My goal is to compete in college swim while earning my doctorate degree in sports medicine. It’s hard for me to talk about myself as I prefer to keep my head down and let my actions speak for me. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you so that you can meet the real me.
