As communities across the country watch high school student athletes sign their National Letters of Intent to colleges and universities on National Signing Day, Feb. 3, 2011, I will personally be attending the signing ceremony of Kayden D. at the request of his mother.
Kayden comes from an old and small school that has not witnessed someone being recruited from its ranks in at least 5 years. He has overcome personal tragedies (the loss of a parent) and a soccer season that fell well short of expectations. Through his hard work, dedication, and strong character, he continued to be a sought after college recruit. From working with Athelete Recruiting Services, he had already realized that there were many recruiting options and he diligently followed up with the coaches that were at schools that matched his desires. From the many that sought his talents, he was smart enough not to choose the one that offered the largest scholarship package but instead choose his best fit option. He is happy, his family is happy, recruiting school is happy, and we are proud of him.
This young man let nothing keep him from realizing his opportunities and making the most of them.
Congratulations Kayden. You have earned it.
