Tori Bien '20 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Tori Bien. I live in Hollywood, Florida, which is centrally located between Fort Lauderdale and Miami in Broward County.

I'm currently in my sophomore year at University School of Nova Southeastern, a college preparatory high school located on the college campus in Davie, Florida.  My cumulative unweighted GPA last year was 3.68.  Academically I'm pretty strong and have learned how to manage my time between school and golf. At this time I'm enrolled in all honors and one AP class. I speak both English and Spanish and I'm currently studying my fifth year of Mandarin. I have also been involved with speech and debate in school for several years. 

My future goal is to attend the right college program where I can continue my education and enjoy the experience of playing competitive team golf. I would love my passion for the game to continue, playing successfully at the collegiate level.

What I believe makes me different from others is that I have an incredible drive every day to improve as a person and a golfer. I’m a very good listener who picks things up quickly, both of which help me academically and on the golf course.  I also have a sense of reality and understand that some of the college choices I'm interested in may not be the right fit for me at this time, but I will continue to work hard and stay focused on improving in an attempt to achieve my goals.  

Athletically I'm a strong athlete. I have participated in various sports besides golf, to include football, softball, and track. In addition to my golf, I box and run for endurance training. I strength train 3-5 times a week and add stretching to my routine as part of my training and overall health. 

Golf is my game. I’ve been successfully playing junior tournaments year round for seven years and been a member of our boys high school team the last four. Also, I have competed as an individual in various high school girls events. I believe the opportunity to compete against and with the boys have helped me develop a mental toughness over other competitors. This summer I continued to travel outside Florida when possible to play and compete on different course conditions. My game is continually improving and developing consistency. I expect to be competing at even a higher level as I approach my grad year of 2020. I’m confident that I will be a top competitor, exceptional teammate and asset to whatever program I end up at.
