Connor McHugh's Wrestling Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

My goals for college are to compete at the highest level that I can and to graduate. There are several reasons why I am a good candidate for your team.  First is that I have good time management skills.  I get a workout in at the gym before school, attend practice after school, and still maintain a high GPA with a rigorous class load.  I’m also an incredibly hard worker and am able to perform well under a lot of pressure.  I take direction well and have been told I am very coachable by high-level coaches.  Lastly, I'm committed to doing everything I can to improve and excel at wrestling.  I attend many camps every year and often will practice with other teams to give me more experience.  I stand out from other athletes because I am not only involved in wrestling, but I am also involved with multiple types of fine arts, including symphonic band and jazz bands.  I also take a very rigorous academic course load which is much higher than most high school athletes.  In addition to everything else, I have a sincere passion for wrestling.  I started wrestling when I was 10 and I love it!  Now I work out 5-6 times a week and attend tournaments, national and local, whenever I can. I wrestle all 3 styles and I’ve competed several times as part of the Team Georgia National Team.  I love all the different styles of wrestling, and my favorite style is Greco.
