Nick Calderon '15 Recruiting Profile

Sports has been my passion since as far back as I can remember. I started swimming competitively when I was 4, and then continued playing every sport I could including baseball, basketball, flag football, and volleyball.  My dream, like most boys growing up was to become a professional athlete, and as I have grown up, I realize that my true goal is to play in college while pursuing my education.  Through all of my team sport experiences, I have learned many life skills that I think will carry me through my goals of finishing my education with a job I will enjoy.  I carry with me team sport experience with team work, and being able to work with many different personalities with players and opponents, as well as, being very comfortable with different coaching styles and standards.  I think these skills will help me aspire to be successful in the real world.  I aspire to commit myself to being the best team player on any team I am on, and I hope to be part of a team that can reach many accomplishments. There are great lessons to be learned in losing a game while still doing our best.  Sometimes, its not winning that teaches us to continue on.  Winning is great, but being part of something and working well together makes all the difference.  I would like to find a school, big or small, that meets my goal of learning and my goal of following my passion for sports. At this time, my ultimate profession is not known, but I hope to be involved in promoting sports, whether it be in broadcasting or as an agent, or perhaps on the health aspect such as a sports physical therapist..
