Taj Carswell '24 Recruiting Profile

My goals are to experience a new level of competition and achieve something I could only dream of.  My academic goals are to study in business and earn a degree, so that I can learn and know the ins and outs of how to run a business when I start welding and many other trades. My coach and his staff have inspired me to keep pushing myself for greatness and to pursue my goals. They help me understand the meaning behind determination and effort.  I have learned that this sport prepares you for the real world, it gives you a strong mentality to push through hard times and make good decisions.  I have had many obstacles in this sport. Many were caused by shoulder injuries and becoming a leader of a new developing team. I have good leadership skills even if I’m a quiet person, I’m also a good team player and I’m very coachable when it comes to learning new things and even old things I need to improve on.
