Bridgette Bonjo '18 Recruiting Profile

Through my earlier years of basketball at a younger age in both grade school and now high school, I have gained insight and knowledge that I will carry with me for the rest of my student-athletic life. One of the most important lessons that I have learned is to always focus on the next point. Like life, the game keeps going, even when you make mistakes. Being that student-athlete has taught me that I can recognize what went wrong and continue to concentrate on all that comes next. Athletics has also taught me the importance of discipline, teamwork and all around good sportsmanship.

To succeed in school, sports and life, we need to make certain sacrifices to realize our goals and ambitions. Whether it is pushing a little harder in practice or putting in that extra hour of studying at home or in the school library. Being a student-athlete at an early age has helped me learn how to prioritize my goals in order to achieve those that are most important to me. However, sometimes we cannot accomplish everything on our own. As an athlete, I have learned that teamwork is a critical aspect of success in any sport. I strongly believe in the values of commit, succeed and lead

Teammates are an invaluable source of support and friendship and, without them, we could never reach our goals.
