NICHOLAS KAPUSTA '21 Recruiting Profile

I am a student at The Kinkaid High School. I have always loved baseball. I started playing at age 5 in Little League and since I was 8 I have been playing on many year around tournament teams. I have played in school teams, the USSSA All American team and in the Baseball Factory tournaments. I am a hardworking student and player. I get my work done in a timely manner and at its finest quality. I put forth all my effort  so I can shine in everything I do. I am a Boy Scout and I plan to be an Eagle Scout by the fall of 2018. I possess many unique characteristics and skills but my strongest ones that I feel truly show who I am, are being a determined, reasonable, and humble. I am a very versatile person on and off the field. I can play all of the Outfield, Pitcher, and First base, I throw and bat left handed. I am able and willing to go beyond the call of duty, I can quickly change and adapt to new circumstances. In the 8th grade The Kinkaid School noticed these characteristics and awarded me the Jack Hanagriff Award for demonstrating athletic excellence and showing outstanding effort during practices and games, and by exhibiting good sportsmanship throughout the year. I believe many parts of my life have influenced who I am but some of the key details that I have learned the most from are from my father. He has taught me the right way to treat people. He taught me no matter who they are or what they think, I should treat them how I would want to be treated. This has helped me make many friends and show what type of person I am. I have learned that no matter how good you are that you need to keep practicing and getting stronger or else someone will eventually be better than you. My academic goals are to have all A’s and B’s throughout the duration of High school and College. My goals for college is to attend a major D1 school and play baseball.  I plan to major in Business.
