Joaquin Tanabe '23 Recruiting Profile

Since starting wrestling, I have developed a deep passion for the sport that has driven me to thrive on the challenges and sacrifices it requires. From working out twice daily to maintaining a healthy diet and missing out on social events, I have embraced the hard work that comes with being a wrestler. As a two-year captain, I have learned the value of teamwork, sacrifice, commitment, and leadership. I am confident that my talent, work ethic, and leadership skills will make a significant impact on your program. Wrestling has also taught me the importance of physical fitness and wellness, and I hope to share this knowledge as a future physical therapist. Furthermore, my commitment to serving my community through volunteering with The Assisteens of El Paso has provided me with invaluable leadership experience and a desire to make a positive impact. As a young 17-year-old graduate, I am eager to continue developing as a student-athlete and contribute to your team with a never-quit attitude. If chosen, I will give you 100% and be a hardworking, proven leader.
