Vivien Canales '24 Recruiting Profile

I am a very determined, disciplined, and strong minded individual. This is in the sense when having to overcome obstacles in the way of my goals.  Especially those that are difficult for me to accomplish.  When I put my mind to push through the hard, it’s to the end, to succeed.  I apply the same philosophy to my schoolwork and academics. I tend to be very involved in the classroom, and social when activites involve others.  While I suffer from Social Anxiety, I recognize it and refuse to allow it to control my life. Get me on a mat though and there's is no stopping me! Wrestling just speaks to me like no other sport has ever. In the last 2 years I've become a leader on our team, and I truly believe in leading by example.  The beauty of wrestling is that I have come to learn that (like life) you never stop learning. This continual education on the mat has made my mind strong, my body physically stronger, and over all a better respectful person.
