Dominic Elmo '18 Recruiting Profile

     I have always had a passion for sports.  However, after having had the experience of playing soccer, baseball, basketball, lacrosse, and football, I can honestly say that my greatest love is the game of football. At this point in my life I have limited myself to participating in organized football and lacrosse. In addition, I am receiving group instruction two days a week for conditioning and strength training with Donskov Strength and Conditioning, Inc. (http://www.donskovsc.com). I also am working with Mr. Lance Perry one day a week at D1 Sports Training for speed and agility (http://www.d1sportstraining.com). The reason I am discussing my past and current experience is because I am extremely dedicated and driven to fulfill my lifelong dream of playing Division I college football. I hope to realize my full athletic potential in the pursuit of this goal. In addition to the obvious athletic rewards associated with playing Division I football; more importantly, I want to use my athletic skills to obtain a college education as a scholarship athlete. Should my athletic ability afford me the privilege of playing football at the professional level, I would certainly welcome the opportunity. I hope to use football to ultimately become a successful oral surgeon, orthodontist, or financial advisor. 

   I realize that the game of football is a classroom for life's lessons. Keeping in mind that there is life after football, I have chosen to pursue the professions of dentistry or finance in order to support myself and my family should I marry. The importance of having a stable and steady income will be crucial to living a productive life, and allowing me to be able to follow the Woody Hayes motto of "paying forward", in other words, giving back to my community.
