Claire Gauer '17 Recruiting Profile

It is my dream to play basketball at the next level.  I played basketball with my Dad growing up and then played competitively at school.  I loved the competition and the feeling I got from doing something as a team.  The thrill of winning really got me motivated for more.  Playing sports is a tool or activity that can help me to achieve my life goals.  I am very competitive and strive to obtain the best out of myself and my teammates.    I want to make everyone around me better.  To achieve that I must give my best and recognize others when they do they same.  I have always been successful in the classroom and on the athletic field.  

I want to be a part of something special and playing sports at the college level is a goal I have set for myself.  I also realize that sports and playing in college is just a stepping stone in meeting my life goals.  A college degree is my main goal.  The degree will help me fulfill my aspiration of starting a career that makes me the best I can be.  I expect to be a leader on my team, the classroom, and in my profession.

I will bring hard work and determination to the program I join, and I am looking for a university and athletic program that will push me to my potential, not just on the athletic field but in the classroom and in my life.  I am willing to fill whatever role that will make that happen.  I will play college basketball!
