All my life all I have ever done is want to play football and baseball.  If there was a team or a game, I wanted to play.  Now as I am beginning my freshman year in high school, I am a two athlete at Don Bosco Prep High School and my name is Joaquin Phillips.  I live in Haskell NJ with my parents and I have two sisters that have graduated from college and live on their own.  My family has taught me discipline and that hard work pays off.  Having two older siblings that went to college was amazing because we were always visiting them on campus and I knew that one day it would be my turn,

Baseball and Football have always been my passion and understanding and learning new elements of the game is what I love the most.  The work is never done, the learning is never done, and the training is never done.  All the different levels of playing from town ball to club ball and now to high school, the games are at different levels and looking at college that is where I want to be.  But the work does not stop on the field.  In the classroom, I work just as hard.  I have been blessed to have a support system on and off the field to make sure that my academic standards are just as high as my athletics.

My goal is to be the best student, player and person a school or a team could have on and off the field.
