Some coaches and players consider Roberto Galle the very definition of what Humber asks from its athletes.
“Roberto is every coach’s dream player,” said Germain Sanchez, head coach of the Hawks men’s soccer team. “He can play every position and he runs nonstop.”
Galle, a Toronto native, enjoyed a successful season with the soccer team, winning the Ontario College Athletic Association provincial title.
He also ran with Humber’s cross-country team this year.
Sanchez said Galle was a vital component to the soccer team and a player he could count on every game.
“Athletics are really important to me,” said Galle, 20, a second-year recreation and leisure student. “Sports are something I am consistently doing whether it’s playing soccer or any other sport.”
He led the men’s cross-country team to the national tournament in Kamloops, B.C.
“My goals at the start of the season were to finish top 10 and beat my race time in cross country provincials,” said Galle. “Lucky enough I did them both in one day.”
Hawk Jose Caro, 25, a first-year psychology student at Guelph Humber, said Galle is a role model for all athletes and a person who gives 100 per cent all the time.
“He is the very definition of an outstanding athlete who does everything he can to win.”
