Alessandro Maiuolo

Athlete Bio

I am a 5'9’’, 165lb, smart (4.38 GPA), senior, fast-legged and accurate kicker/punter from California D2-A 2017 State Champions Saint Francis High School in Mountain View, CA. As a consistent, tough and athletic kicker (wrestling, soccer, Tae-Kwon-Do 2nd Dan black belt) with an absolute thirst for being the best kicker possible, it is my goal to attend and kick at a high caliber school where I can also achieve a great academic fit. I plan to major in Engineering and I would love to get into a college with a very strong football tradition.

So, why me? Because first and foremost I am an athlete and a person of impeccable character. I know exactly what I want and set goals to get there. I have a great work ethic and attention to detail, modest but confident! My best attribute is my calm and relaxed nature: I do not get rattled no matter what the situation is. I believe that preparedness leads to confidence, and confidence leads to success.

Besides football, I love martial arts: I have a 13 years experience and I am an assistant instructor. I credit Tae-Kwon-Do for my athletic ability, and especially for my strong mental attitude required to perform under pressure, the discipline to follow a program and the firm will to learn very fast from my coaches.

I have started wrestling in my freshman year in high school, and I absolutely love it, and find it very helpful in building both individual skills and team spirit.

I also love to rock climb with my parents, my brother and my friends, and turn to the outdoors whenever I have the opportunity.
