Nathan Gainey '17 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals are to get into a four year University, and wrestle all four years of my college career. I would also like to become a NCAA champion in college for myself, my family, and my college. Things that define me as a good candidate are that I am a very hard worker on and off the mat, I always give one hundred and ten percent for everything. I can also take charge and be a leader when and if needed. There are many other recruits to pick from but what makes me different than the others is that I am and always have been a positive person in life. In any situation I look at it as what can I get out of this, and that everything happen for a reason so look at the bright side of it.  As for athletics I am a mental strong person I am able to stay composed during every match I wrestle. I don't get flustered when things go wrong I push forward and look to score my next point to win.  If I do lose you will never see my emotions come out on the mat. I feel I formed my good work ethics from my parents, and working in there family business which I feel has helped me become the wrestler I am today. Academics has always been hard for me in my life, but I work as hard as I can to get the grades I need and want, and that is what I will do for my four years of college and the rest of my life. This is just a little about me, and how I feel about myself.
