Katie Patrick '15 Recruiting Profile

I've always been into sports. I was the kid that played every single sport there was, and eventually, when the time came, I had to narrow it down to just one. Volleyball, in my opinion, is one of the best teamwork games there is. It requires discipline and hard work, and it's so much fun to play. That's why, ever since I started playing competitive volleyball in eighth grade, I've wanted to play in college. I believe that college athletics are a great opportunity to get an amazing education while paying for it by doing something you love. It's one of my biggest goals to go play volleyball at a school that will put me in a great position for the future.

Science has always been my favorite subject, along with math. I love learning about how things work, why they work, and what will happen next. Although I haven't decided on an official major, I know I want to continue to learn about chemistry and physics, and start a career doing something I love.

I think I am a good candidate for your team because I love to have fun, and work hard at the same time. And, just like any other athlete, I love to win, but hate to lose even more. Every single practice is always an opportunity to work hard to beat your rival next time, or to get better stats in your next game, or to win that championship trophy, and that's my favorite thing about volleyball. If you don't like the result of something, you can get into the gym and change it.

Because I'm passionate about my schoolwork, a team player, and a hard working athlete, I think I'm a great candidate for your program.
