Alexander Cancilla '16 Recruiting Profile

I've always known the importance of a good education.  My intention over the next few years of my life is to become the best "student athlete" that I can be.  At Canisius High School I already receive a college preparatory education that will have me prepared for even the toughest of academic challenges in my college studies.  I am a good candidate for any college because of my competitive attitude in the classroom and on the soccer field.  There's nothing I enjoy more than a challenge and being pushed out of my comfort zone.  Being surrounded by other individuals who share the same ambitions as I do causes me to put forth my fullest potential and truly excel.  I'm the type of person that will take advantage of my opportunities.  Being apart of a team and has taught me many life skills, such as working with and for others toward a common goal.  The brotherhood and bond that results from this is one of the many rewards.  I can take direction and use it to motivate me to improve.  Nothing feels better than the satisfaction of accomplishing something with a solid work ethic and self determination.  I travel three hours to practice with my team multiple times a week, while still maintaining First Honors consistently at my high school.  I know the value of self discipline and persistence.  I look forward to combining my academics alongside my sport.  All of my education and experiences have taught me to be a man for and with others.  I intend to take full advantage of my collegiate education to grow as a person and be an asset to my community.
