Kahlil Wyche II '13 Recruiting Profile

My name is Kahlil Wyche II and I am a 5ft 5 in, 150 lb Freshman at Eastern High School in Voorhees, NJ. Throughout my High School, Pre-High School years I have been involved in sports and activities. I have ran track since I was 8, football since I was 11, and have had a little experience with basketball too. I have had the privelige of working with many coaches, trainers, teachers and spiritual figures who have inspired me to be who I am today and will become tomorrow. Both of my parents have taking a big part in my life since i can remember. They always taught me that if I want to be successful in life that I must always posess the following core values. They have also taught me to be well organized and to be on task. So here are the values that I follow and cherish. Value #1 - Never compromise my standards, in other words never do anything unethical and if a friend or group is doing something that I don't find to be productive such as; drugs, alcohol, theft, etc. I need to remove myself from that environment and/or group. Value #2 - Humility, never forget why I'm here and where I came from. My top priority is to always thank God for the talents and gifts that He has given me. Value #3 I must consistently give 125% in everything I do in life. I must always continue to consistently raise the bar academically, physically, and spiritually in order to stay on top of my game. Most importantly and certainly not least this will allow me to create balance in my life. Value #4 always have the heart and spirit of a servant. No matter if its for an community service event, helping a friend,a teammate or on the job, I must demonstrate my ability to help, serve, and learn. As I entered Eastern Regional High school as a Freshmen of 2009.I had only one goal and that goal was to challenge my teachers and coaches daily to push me academically and sports wise. My Dad always said," If I challenge each teacher and each coach one on one, that I would "win" some, "tie" some and "lose" some of my challenges." As a learner I didn't understand what he meant by that statement so I asked,"Dad what do you mean by take them on one on one?, You always taught me to respect my elders." My Dad then explained to me, "Son, if you challenge the teacher or coach by asorbing and gaining as much knowledge and skills that they share with you, you can always "win" the one on one challenge!" Now ever since then I take this challenge daily and it has shaped me to be more of a student/athlete/humanitarian. As I continue to consistently work to accomplish my dreams and goals. Sports have had the foremost effect on my life. It feeds the competitive edge that is inside of me. When I made team captain of my football team for the Lawnside Jaguars, I found myself frequently motivating my teammates to push themselves out of their comfort zone. As a captain I push myself to do above average so that my peers around me have something to reach for. We watch and study many films so that not only do we have an insight of our opponites weakness but, we can improve our defense and offensive skills as well. This type of activity is what makes football not only challenging to our physical abilities but, a challenge to our minds as well. Another great piece of advice that my parents share with me frequently is to always lead from the front and not the back. When the opportunity arises for me to be in leadership positions I cherish it because it improves my leadership skills and pushed me to raise the bar physically and mentally. I can remember the first time I particpated in Track and Field I was about 8 years old, the excitement of being able to race my older buddies gave me butterflies. I began to have flashbacks of this feeling when I started running indoor track for the Eastern Varsity team just a few months ago. Being the only freshman on the varsity squad I have to put a lot of extra hard work in order to be successful. I recently asked my coach can I run with the distance runners so that I can improve my endurance. My goal is to beat Barry, who is a senior in the 400 by the time the spring season comes underway! I also, began to workout with my Dad at 5 AM three days a week in order to help strengthen my core and my mental strategies. One of my biggest frustrations is I do not like to lose. So instead of staying frustrated if I so happen to lose at anytime. I use it as an opportunity for me to do better and practice harder. Over the years from experience I have learn that your performance in the big leagues begins in one place, and thats practice. Practice, dedication and heart is the catalyst in becoming a true champion. I am still researching what institution(s) would be a good fit for me. My dream is to become an Olympic athlete in track and field. Another one of my passions is to become a world renown chef. In my spare time I enjoy watching sitcoms such as Martin Lawrence and Everyone Hates Chris. My family and I love to ride quads, dirt bikes and go to amusement parks.
