Vanessa Leon '16 Recruiting Profile

As a student Athlete I have always had the pressure to perform in the water as well as in the classrooms. Balancing out school sand training came naturally for me because of my desire to strive in every area I dedicate myself in. I have always dreamed of pursuing my swimming career in the collegiate level, as well as completing my field of studies and making an impact in the team I am part of and the school I attend. I hope to graduate with a masters in Athletic Training, I chose to pursue the career due to my interest in medical field and being an athlete and taking frequent trips to the athletic training room to keep my body healthy, I hope I could be of huge help to athletes in the area I work in. 

I personally believe I am a great candidate for a college swim team due to my dedication and will to improve. I am not one to give up quickly and all strive to be the best in the area I am placed in. My bubbly attitude yet serious demeanor sets me apart from all my fellow teammates. What is expected of me is what I give and way past the expectations. My unique personality is a huge part of why I was chosen as captain, my dedication in the water, in the classroom and in my everyday living is what sets me apart from common athletes.
