daija black '16 Recruiting Profile

 Goals and Aspirations-
My long term goal aspiration is to be apart of the WNBA or become a Physiologist, and/or Pediatric Nurse. Basketball is my passion; however I would love to be in position where I am able to help others. I have a desire to learn how to put people in better positions and learn how everything functions. I also hope to have a stable career after basketball.
I am also interested in schools that will challenge me mentally and my social interest. Especially a school that has either a completive or somewhat competitive program. Being competitive is also a passion for me. I am currently competing at a competitive level at my high school. Basketball is a sport that I love and hope to have an opportunity to compete at a professional level.
 
What makes you a good candidate for their team?
I am a leader to all my peers; I am versatile, I am able to play multiple positions very well. I am able to bring a lot to the team mentally and physically. I am a fast-learner, I currently play three positions (Small Forward, Shooting Guard, and Point Guard), but when I have a chance or when I have to step up and play the other two positions I would. I make sure everyone on the team knows what they are doing and I am able to help with anything they need.
 
What makes you different from other recruits in character, athletics and academics?
I am able to put the team before myself but I am also able to focus on myself and my needs. So that my team can be successful as a whole. But I can bring whatever my coaches and teammates need from me and I wouldn't give up no matter how hard it is for me to do anything.
