Sam Barsanti '15 Recruiting Profile

I believe I am an unusual golf success story. 

I actually began golfing the summer before my freshman year of high school.  My goal, at first, was to become good enough to make the team.  I worked with a private coach and practiced for 5-6 hours a day.  Once I made the JV team my freshman year, I realized I could go as far as I wanted.  So, my next goal was to make varsity.  I made that my sophomore year.  Now, I have my sights set on playing college golf.

I have poured an enormous amount of effort, in a short amount of time, and have met my goals.  I believe this shows my drive, my work ethic and my perseverance.  I continue to work with a private coach in addition to my high school coaches.  I am extremely coachable and one of the hardest working, if not THE hardest working, golfer you'll find.

I am successful in my academic endeavors as well.  I maintain a high GPA and have received several awards and honors.  I am a leader both on and off the course.  My most recent honor was being elected president of TSA.  I also won a state award for a year long project I created for TSA.  One award I truly treasure was the Trustee Award of Excellence from my school. I have been a member of the National Honor Society.  Last year I received an award for academic excellence at our end of the year golf awards banquet.

I would like to find a college that is challenging to me both on and off the course. I am interested in exploring any and all options in order to make my dream of playing golf come true. I hope to be successful in becoming a leader and meeting my goals while making my family proud.
